Sanjaykumar Jariwala

Sanjaykumar Jariwala is a Research Fellow (Postdoc) in the Khodosevich Group at the Biotech Research and Innovation Centre (BRIC), University of Copenhagen, specializing in neural mechanisms of fear and memory. His work bridges experimental neuroscience and behavioral analysis within a leading European research hub.

His core research interests include:

• Neuroscience
• Memory Research
• Fear Conditioning
• Neural Circuits
• Behavioral Neuroscience
• Amygdala Function

His 2024 publication in Cell Reports analyzes inhibitory fear memory engrams in the mouse central lateral amygdala, revealing how specific neural populations encode emotional memories. This work demonstrates cross-disciplinary integration of molecular techniques, circuit mapping, and behavioral paradigms, contributing to understanding trauma-related disorders.

Dr. Jariwala operates within the Khodosevich Group, which investigates neural circuit development and dysfunction using advanced genomic and imaging approaches. His research has garnered significant attention with coverage across 8 news outlets, 4 blogs, and 15 social media platforms.
