Zachary Boyce

Zach is from a native New Englander who has spent the past few years researching in Utah, Taiwan, and back in his native Boston. His research interests lie in elucidating developmental mechanisms of psychiatric disorders and in neuroscience more broadly. His past projects have included prophylactic treatment of PTSD, novel NAc plasticity in response to THC, and patient-derived brain organoid models of Schizophrenia. He is currently rotating in the Hill Lab studying mitochondrial dynamics in maturing oligodendrocytes. Outside of the lab he enjoys soccer, board games (including tabletop and roleplaying games), backpacking, singing, and pretending he knows how to paint.
