Miranda Robbins

Dr Miranda Robbins is a Postdoctoral Associate at Jesus College and an MRC Postdoctoral Scientist at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, University of Cambridge, with a visiting position at the Department of Zoology. Her research focuses on elucidating molecular, cellular, and network mechanisms of memory storage to develop therapeutics for neurological disorders.

Her academic credentials include:

• BSc in Molecular Biology from University College London
• MSc in Integrative Neuroscience from the University of Edinburgh
• MRes in Sensor Technology from the University of Cambridge
• PhD in Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology from the University of Cambridge

Dr Robbins' research centers on:

• Learning and Memory mechanisms
• Memory Engram formation and persistence
• Synaptic Plasticity in neural circuits
• Neurodegenerative Disorder pathology
• Therapeutic Development for memory impairment
• Molecular Neuroscience approaches

She conducts research in Dr Marta Zlatic's laboratory using Drosophila larvae to investigate long-term memory formation. A proponent of open science, she has contributed to open-source hardware for biological imaging. No information is available regarding advised students or specific grant funding.
