Bio
Tomas Kasza is a Graduate Student in the Neuroscience program at Rutgers. He studies Gpr161, a GPCR, and its role in adult neurogenesis and human development. He wants to use his scientific training to create next generation cell therapies for incurable diseases. He believes that CABM is the best building to work in at Rutgers because of its friendly and helpful atmosphere. When not in the lab he enjoys playing soccer and spending time with his wife and two daughters.
