Our Team

Marta Soden, PhD, Principal Investigator

Marta received her B.A. from Mount Holyoke College, where she majored in Neuroscience and Behavior. She went on to receive her PhD in the laboratory of Dr. Lu Chen at UC Berkeley, studying local translation and homeostatic synaptic plasticity in the hippocampus. Marta then completed a postdoctoral fellowship with Dr. Larry Zweifel at the University of Washington, where she began studying dopaminergic circuits and neuronal excitability. She was thrilled to be able to stay at UW as faculty in the Pharmacology department and start her own research group.
