Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolElena Dreosti is a neuroscientist, educator, and founder who builds transparent, hands-on learning platforms that demystify how brains and technologies work. With 15+ years studying social behaviour, neural development, and sensory processing—largely using zebrafish—she has driven open approaches to imaging, analysis, and behavioural neuroscience from Cambridge to UCL. As Executive Director of the Cajal Advanced Neuroscience Training Programme she launched the NeuroKits curriculum that trained over 500 international students in three years, and today as CEO of No Black Boxes she leads an initiative reaching learners in 50+ countries. She pairs rigorous academic research (Wellcome-funded fellowships and an active senior research role at UCL) with a commitment to making science education inclusive, transparent, and practical. Notably, her work blends curiosity about the social brain and pain with a knack for turning complex lab technologies into teachable, reproducible tools. Based in London, she’s driven by the conviction that anyone, anywhere, should have the tools to explore science for themselves.
