Kevin Cury, Ph.D.
Kevin received a B.S. in Bioengineering from UC Berkeley. Subsequently, he began his neuroscience research career at UCLA as an assistant in the lab of Arthur Toga, studying the neural correlates of the BOLD signal. Kevin then pursued and completed his Ph.D. in Naoshige Uchida’s lab at Harvard University. His graduate work examined the relationship between sampling behavior and neural coding in the rodent olfactory system. As a postdoc in the Axel lab, Kevin studies egg-laying behavior in Drosophila as a model system for sensory-motor integration and behavioral flexibility. During this time, he has also established a fruitful set of collaborations, including the development of the DeepLabCut pose estimation algorithm and, starting in 2018, the dissection of the egg-laying pattern generating circuit with Barry Dickson as a Visiting Scientist at Janelia Research Campus.
