Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJustin Kenney is an Associate Professor in Biological Sciences at Wayne State University with 11 years of research and teaching experience focused on the neural and molecular basis of individual differences in behavior. He leads the Kenney Lab, which leverages adult zebrafish as a model to connect behavior to brain circuits and molecular signaling, and develops practical tools like an adult zebrafish brain atlas, 3D behavior-tracking methods, and improved drug-delivery approaches. His background spans rigorous molecular and behavioral techniques from a PhD in neuroscience through postdoctoral fellowships and an international research fellowship, producing numerous peer-reviewed publications and novel experimental methods. Known for combining quantitative systems approaches with hands-on engineering (e.g., custom apparatus and software for experiments), he brings both conceptual depth and tool-building pragmatism to neuroscience. Based in Detroit, he balances teaching neuroscience courses with an active program translating basic neurobiology into reusable resources for the community.
