Christina Mo received a BSc Hons (Neuroscience) from the University of Western Australia and a PhD in Neuroscience from the Florey Institute at the University of Melbourne. She completed her postdoctoral training at the University of Chicago where she used two-photon calcium imaging, optogenetics and trans-synaptic tracing to study the neuronal circuits between cortex and thalamus during perceptual decision-making. In 2023 she established a lab the Florey Institute and the team investigates the circuits of sensory processing and higher order cognitive functions.
