Dr. Coni Horndli has been awarded a prestigious fellowship from the Swiss National Science Foundation. Dr. Horndli is a postdoctoral fellow in the Gregg Lab developing novel approaches to study genetic and epigenetic pathways in the brain that modulate complex feeding and foraging behaviors.
She has a particular interest in molecular mechanisms that influence stress and anxiety. Dr. Horndli’s work is anticipated to transform our understanding of the mechanisms in the brain that contribute to susceptibility to eating disorders, stress and anxiety-related disorders, and depression.
