Huixin has won the President's Scholarship of Peking University (PKU, 北京大学校长奖学金). Congratulations!
Huixin joined the lab in 2021 as a Ph.D. student through a joint PhD program between CIBR and PKU. Her primary work has been focused on performing calcium imaging on head-fixed mice to study how the hippocampus, orbitofrontal cortex, and the whole dorsal cortex are differently involved in forming associative structures during learning.
