Anthony E. Ambrosini Position Senior Lecturer Office Phone 609-258-8329 Email [email protected] Office A76A Neuroscience Bio/Description Anthony completed his PhD at Princeton under Lynn Enquist, focused on herpesvirus infections of neurons. Upon completing his PhD, he joined PNI as a lecturer working under Alan Gelperin in the McDonnell Teaching Laboratory, supporting the graduate level core laboratory course (NEU501B) and co-developing the undergraduate core laboratory course (NEU350) for the nascent Neuroscience major. In this capacity he is the only person at PNI to have taught each Neuroscience graduate student and undergraduate concentrator over the past decade. Entering the COVID pandemic Anthony converted the undergraduate course to a remote learning paradigm that included home EEG experiments; emerging from the pandemic he remained lead instructor for both laboratory courses, continuing to incrementally modernize the courses with new experimental and analytical methods. Anthony has additionally been involved in teaching PNI's introductory neurobiology course; summer laboratory and programming courses; and research ethics courses for graduate students, postdocs, and summer interns. Recently Anthony has been promoted to Senior Lecturer, debuted a senior seminar elective on neurovirology, and started teaching a summer laboratory course targeted at incoming first-generation/underrepresented students. His current research focuses on the development of zebrafish sensory systems, leveraging PNI's unique capacity to relate large-scale functional (2-photon calcium) and structural (EM for connectomic) neuroimaging.
