Andrea Gomez is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Molecular and Cell Biology and the Helen Wills Neuroscience Institute at the University of California, Berkeley
Gomez received her Ph.D. in Developmental Genetics from New York University and conducted postdoctoral research at the University of Basel, Switzerland. Her work is devoted to understanding the instructive cues that sculpt patterns of brain activity. Her efforts led to the discovery of RNA-based programs that are critical for synaptic organization and plasticity. Gomez started her lab at UC Berkeley in January 2020 and has received several awards, including the European Molecular Biology Organization Advanced Fellowship, a Brain and Behavior Research Foundation Young Investigator, a Rose Hills Innovator Award, and is a Sloan Research Fellow.
