Anthony Sharkey Ricciardulli graduated from the University of California, Berkeley in 2017 with a B.S. in microbial biology. As an undergraduate, he investigated mechanisms of neurodevelopment during embryogenesis and developed expertise in cellular and molecular techniques. After graduation, he worked as a cellular engineer and tissue culture specialist in the laboratory of Fred Gage at the Salk Institute. There he generated patient-derived neurons to investigate how DNA repair processes and bioenergetics contribute to known neurodegenerative phenotypes using iPSC-derived human neurons. Prior to joining the Neuroscience Ph.D. Program at the University of Utah, he next worked at Sangamo Therapeutics, where his work focused on making AAV-delivered medicines targeting Parkinson’s disease, again using human iPSC-derived neurons to model this complex disease. Anthony joined the Neuroscience Ph.D. Program at the University of Utah where he has embarked on a joint project mentored by Nick Frost and Alex Shcheglovitov using three-dimensional human organoids to model circuit dysfunction in neurodevelopmental disorders.

Peri Kurshan, Ph.D.
Peri Kurshan is an assistant professor in the Dominick P. Purpura Department of Neuroscience and the Department of Genetics at Albert Einstein College of Medicine. She completed her undergraduate degree in neuroscience at Brown University and obtained her Ph.D. in neuroscience from Harvard University, under the mentorship of Thomas Schwarz, studying synaptogenesis in Drosophila. She performed her postdoctoral work at Stanford University in the lab of Kang Shen before joining the faculty at Albert Einstein College in 2019.
