Generate a tailored SOP for Dr. Tanner Anderson. Improve your application with a focused, well-structured draft.
Tanner Anderson is a postdoctoral researcher in the Kaye Lab at Yale School of Medicine, focusing on the brain circuits involved in the anxiolytic effects of psychedelic hallucinogens using in vivo slice electrophysiology. He completed his PhD in Neuroscience at the University of Kentucky in 2025, where his research centered on how psychedelics alter behavior, synaptic plasticity, and neurophysiology of claustral cortical synapses. His current work studies the neurophysiology of cortical-projecting claustrum neurons in response to psychedelics, utilizing patch clamp electrophysiology and operant behavior models related to substance use and stress.
GRE is optional for PhD applicants. TOEFL speaking scores below 26 or IELTS speaking below 7.5 may require summer English training.
