Sharlen Moore, PhD

Sharlen grew up in Mexico and moved to Germany to do a PhD in Neurosciences. She worked at the Max Planck Institute of Experimental Medicine with Dr. Livia de Hoz and Prof. Klaus-Armin Nave, studying the role of myelin in mice auditory processing. She then returned to Mexico to do a short postdoc at the UNAM, with Dr. Francisco Fernández de Miguel. There, she studied extrasynaptic serotonin release in the leech and participated in a project to understand how sounds modified the perception of visual art. She joined our lab to study neuromodulatory circuits that influence learning and to understand the role of astrocytes in context-dependent high-order functions. Besides science, she loves traveling, visiting museums and dancing.
