Jordi Mascaro Janer, MSc | PhD Student
Jordi obtained a BSc in Biotechnology from the University of Barcelona. Having been awarded a postgraduate fellowship from the "la Caixa" Foundation, he went on to complete a Master’s degree in Neuroscience at University College London (UCL), followed by a one-year Research Assistantship at the same institution. Under the supervision of Dr Daniel Bush and Prof Neil Burgess, his research involved the use of virtual reality systems for mice to investigate behavioural patterns and neuronal activity during spatial navigation and decision-making. Jordi is now a PhD student in the lab, where he aims to further investigate the neural mechanisms of spatial orientation using novel behavioural assays and electrophysiological techniques.
