Anjana is an PhD student in the Graduate Program in neuroscience. Anjana has completed her BSc in Behavioural Neuroscience and English Literature followed by a MSc in Neuroscience from the University of British Columbia. Her interest in disorders impacting the nervous system began with her involvement in investigating the ketogenic diet in mice models of multiple sclerosis at ICORD during her undergraduate degree. Seeing Dr. Lara Boyd’s work investigating how individual, neurobiological differences affect recovery, specifically using imaging, drew her to the lab where she completed her masters degree. Anjana’s master’s thesis explored using non-invasive brain stimulation to better understand interneuronal circuits in the motor cortex after stroke. Anjana hopes to continue exploring how we can tailor stroke recovery to match an individual’s neurological profile through her doctoral degree. When not in the lab you can find her exploring new coffee shops and bakeries in Vancouver, taking wacky fitness classes or making music.
