Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMarcel Brosch is a postdoctoral researcher and neuro-engineer with nine years of experience developing novel tools for in vivo neural recording and imaging, currently focusing on freely-behaving one-photon calcium imaging at UCLA Health. He holds a Ph.D. summa cum laude for creating transparent µECoG arrays and an open-source 3D-printed microdrive that combine electrophysiology with optical methods, blending hardware design with rigorous experimentation. His work on dopamine neurons and reward prediction error spans behavioral, electrophysiological, and optophysiological approaches, enabling end-to-end project leadership from prototype to data analysis. Comfortable in interdisciplinary teams, Marcel pairs hands-on surgical and electrophysiology skills with large dataset analysis and protocol optimization. He also brings practical field and animal-work experience from wildlife and veterinary settings, which informs robust experimental design in diverse environments. Marcel is driven by translating curiosity about brain function into accessible, open tools that accelerate neuroscience research and therapeutic innovation.
