Meet our team

Corey grew up in Montreal and obtained his BSc in Physiology from McGill University. He then moved out west and  completed his PhD in Pharmacology at The University of British Columbia, where he worked with Stephanie Borgland and used whole cell patch clamp electrophysiology to examine orexin modulation of ventral tegmental area dopamine neurons. He then joined Adam Carter's lab at The Center for Neural Science at New York University to do his postdoc, where he examined neural circuit organization and function in the nucleus accumbens. with a combination of electrophysiology, anatomy, optogenetics and behavioiural techniques. Outside the lab, Corey is an avid runner and can be found exploring Nova Scotia's many trails and beaches. 

Alma is a 4th year undergraduate student in Medical Sciences. She has always been baffled by the complexity of the brain, and joined the Baimel lab to gain hands on experience in neuroscience research. Alma's honors project uses immunohistochemsitry to identify cellular markers in the basolateral amygdala. Alma loves travelling, walking her dogs and has spent  a lot of time exploring Halifax while running with friends.

Ricky is a 3rd year undergraduate student in Neuroscience who joined the lab as an experiential learning student. Ricky works on understaning neurmodulation in the amygdala, and will his woek in the coming year as an Honors undergradaute student. Ricky plays on Dalhousie's men's soccer team and is an Academic All Canadian, reflecting his commitment to both sport and his studies.  When not in the lab, Ricky is almost always found on the soccer field. 

Molly is a 3rd year Neuroscience student who is minoring in French and working towards certificates in Human Physiology and Medical Humanities. She has a strong interest in cellular neuroscience and joined the Baimel lab to get a better feel for scientific reserach. Molly is a student-athlete and plays on the Dalhousie field hockey team and is the health advocacy chair for the Dalhousie Building Smiles Society. In her free time she enjoys spending time with her dogs and going to the gym.
