Courtney Duong graduated from the University of California at Davis with a degree in Neurobiology, Physiology, and Behavior Sciences. She joined the team as a volunteer in her senior summer and returned as lab manager after finishing her studies. She led the team for five years, to over a dozen national conferences, successfully facilitated more than 100 publications during her tenure, and helped the lab win multiple grants and funding opportunities. She absolutely loved all the students and volunteers she has gotten to meet and is extremely thankful she was able to be a part of their journey. In her free time, she loves to explore the bustling LA restaurant scene, hike with her dog, Archie, read science fiction novels, and play video games.
