Ryan Morton graduated in 2022 with a major in Statistical Science and a minor in German Studies. His research has involved working on a laser ablation approach to treat focal epilepsy, developing ways to use DeepLabCut neural networks to study multi-animal behavior, and investigating the role of sharp-wave ripples in an Alzheimer’s mouse model. He plans to apply to medical school after one gap year, during which he will continue doing research at UCSF while also working as an EMT to further his patient experience.
