Biography

Kaiden Price has a PhD in Neuroscience from Ohio State University and a Bachelor of Science (Honors) in Biology from the University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire. His research interests focus on systems neuroscience, particularly in understanding how the brain and nervous system orchestrate appropriate behavioral responses. He aims to expand the complexity of neural systems beyond simplistic models by exploring the intricate, dynamic, and non-linear interactions at multiple levels, from molecules to circuits. His primary work involves studying the neuronal circuits of C. elegans, a tiny nematode known for its highly stereotyped behavior and extensive genetic toolkit. By employing a combination of behavioral assays, calcium imaging, and transgenic manipulations, he investigates how C. elegans learns. Kaiden is passionate about mentoring undergraduate students who are interested in working in his lab.
