Renny Ng
Renny is a second-year Biological Sciences PhD student in the lab of Dr. Chih-Ying Su. His research focuses on the context-dependent neuromodulation of olfaction. His previous work had identified an amplification mechanism compatible with ionotropic signaling, reviewed the prevalence and importance of compartmentalized sensory neurons, and addressed questions regarding pheromonal communication in insects. His current research aims to characterize the effects of day/night cycles on olfactory acuity and odor-guided behaviors. Renny is also a PiBS trainee and a BUMMP mentor.
