CURRENT LAB MEMBERS
Andrea Hasenstaub, PhD, is an Associate Professor in the Coleman Memorial Laboratories in the Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery (OHNS) at the University of California, San Francisco. She received her BS in Mathematics and Engineering at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, California; a M.Phil. in Biological Anthropology from Cambridge University, England; and a PhD in Neurobiology at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, followed by a fellowship at the Salk Institute in La Jolla, California.
James Bigelow is a postdoctoral fellow studying central consequences of hearing loss, as well as how auditory cortical encoding is influenced by sensory and behavioral context. He earned a BS in Psychology from Utah State University and a PhD in Behavioral and Cognitive Neuroscience at the University of Iowa, and has been a member of the Hasenstaub Lab since 2015.
Timothy Olsen is a postdoctoral scholar who started in 2019 after receiving his PhD from the University of Leicester in England. His research interests include plasticity of neurons in the auditory cortext.
Toshiaki Suzuki is a postdoctoral fellow studying sensory information processing. He received Bachelor and Master's degrees in Pharmaceutical science from Nagoya City University and a Ph.D. in Pharmaceutical Science at the Nagoya University. After he spent as a postdoc in Japan and has been a member of the Hasenstaub Lab since 2022.
Philine Marchetta earned a BS in Biology at the University of Tuebingen in Germany, a MS in Molecular and Cellular Neuroscience at the University of Marburg in Germany and a PhD in Pharmacy at the University of Tuebingen. She joined the lab in 2022 as a postdoctoral fellow with the aim to study the circuit and cellular basis of developmental cortical plasticity following interneuron precursor transplants.
Natalia Santiago is the current lab manager who joined the Hasenstaub Lab in June 2022 after receiving her BS in Neuroscience from Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA. She plans to go to graduate school in 2025 and hopes to find an area of study throughout her time in the lab.
