Meet the Reinhold Lab.

Current

Kimberly Reinhold

Principal Investigator

Kimberly grew up in Hilo, Hawaii before graduating from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with an undergraduate degree in Brain and Cognitive Sciences. She obtained her PhD studying sensory processing with Massimo Scanziani at the University of California at San Diego. Her postdoctoral work with Bernardo Sabatini at Harvard Medical School investigated how animals learn to associate sensory information with motor actions. She is faculty in the Department of Otolaryngology at Harvard Medical School and the Eaton-Peabody Labs at Massachusetts Eye and Ear. Kimberly is a recipient of the Jane Coffin Childs Fellowship, Helen Hay Whitney Fellowship, and NIH K99/R00 Pathway to Independence Award. As a faculty, she is a recipient of the One Mind Rising Stars Award.

Erin Tam

Graduate Student

Erin graduated from the University of California, Berkeley with a degree in Molecular and Cellular Biology (Neurobiology) where she worked as an undergraduate research assistant in Dr. Hillel Adesnik's lab studying perception in the visual cortex of mice. She then worked as a post-bacc research assistant in Dr. Christopher Harvey's lab at Harvard Medical School investigating the function of a genetically defined subset of Sst interneurons for error correction in the posterior parietal/visual cortex of mice. Now, as a graduate student in the Program in Neuroscience at Harvard, she is interested in how corticostriatal plasticity develops with learning and how its dysfunction contributes to neurological conditions, including movement disorders and addiction. Outside of lab, you can find her trying new cafes, listening to K-pop, and going to concerts!

Jerry Wang

Postgraduate Research Technician

Jerry graduated from Boston University with a double major in Neuroscience and Psychology. He is a postgraduate research technician in the Reinhold Lab. He is broadly interested in systems neuroscience and in understanding how neural circuits transform sensory information into learning, memory, and behavior. He is especially interested in uncovering circuit-level mechanisms that coordinate activity across distributed brain systems, as well as in using computational approaches to better understand neural dynamics and behavior. Outside the lab, Jerry enjoys art and dance, and occasionally makes music.

Alumni

Annabel Chang

Former Lab Member

PhD Student · Stanford Neurosciences PhD Program

Annabel graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with a degree in Neuroscience. She worked as a lab technician with Dr. Reinhold in the Sabatini Lab, where she studied the mouse striatum, reinforcement learning, and reward-driven behaviors. She is particularly interested in the neural basis of compulsivity and is also excited to learn more about the auditory system. Outside the lab, you can find her lifting weights in the gym or cooking in the kitchen. Now: PhD student at Stanford University.
