Anton Wyss-Coray
Throughout my journey, I have been fortunate to receive support and guidance from mentors who helped me navigate academia as a first-generation student. My commitment to equity and my passion for neuroscience, shaped by my experiences growing up in a low-income neighborhood and witnessing the resilience of my illiterate grandparents and my grandfather's struggle with neurodegeneration, drive my work. I am proud to be recognized for my efforts to advance justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion. I am committed to creating an inclusive academic environment, mentoring future scientists, and leveraging research and education to make a tangible impact on marginalized communities.
