Alicia Harracksingh – MSc student
Alicia defended her MSc thesis in the fall of 2019, researching the evolution of pre-synaptic protein-protein interactions with a focus on mechanisms for voltage-gated calcium channel tethering at the active zone close to exocytotic vesicles. Alicia completed her BSc (Honours) from University of Toronto Scarborough in 2017, with a double Major in Neuroscience and Molecular Biology. Alicia began in the Senatore lab as an undergraduate researcher doing a BIO481 research project, and went on to work as a research assistant before beginning her MSc.
When not in the lab, Alicia enjoys spending time with family and friends, listening to music, and napping.
