Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolEnny Van Beest is a Senior Research Associate and systems neuroscientist in London with 12 years of experience designing and implementing tools to track hundreds of individual neurons over months. She transitioned from a PhD at the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience to Neuropixels-driven postdoctoral work at UCL, where she studies spatial coding across the brain under Matteo Carandini and Kenneth Harris. Enny combines advanced electrophysiology, longitudinal neural tracking and custom Matlab pipelines with strong quantitative training (R) from her academic roles. Her work bridges hands-on experimental techniques like optogenetics and single-unit analysis with scalable data methods, enabling rare long-term neuron-level studies. Colleagues describe her as methodical and creative, able to turn complex experimental demands into reliable analysis tools that reveal subtle neural dynamics.
