Meet Dr. Alicia Hall, a postdoc in the laboratory of Dr. Tallie Z. Baram in the Department of Anatomy and Neurobiology. She currently studies mechanisms of epileptogenesis in order to block epilepsy development. She earned her Ph.D. at University of Alabama at Birmingham studying neuronal hyperexcitability in an Alzheimer’s disease mouse model. Alicia attended University of California, Davis for her undergraduate studies.
Alicia is starting her second year of leading the UCI Postdoctoral Association (PDA) serving as co-chairman. She has made significant contributions to increasing the support and visibility of postdocs here at UCI, including organizing the first UCI Postdoctoral Research Symposium in September.
