Shamprasad Varija Raghu

Picture
    I did my undergraduate and Master's degree from Mangalore University, India.  I completed my doctoral studies with Rajashekhar Patil at Mangalore University and postdoctoral work with Alexander Borst at the Max Planck Institute of Neurobiology. During my doctoral studies, I worked with Karl Fischbach at the University of Freiburg as a DAAD (Deutscher Akademischer Austausch Dienst) Fellow. Currently I am working on development of new neuro-anatomical tools and behavioral assays.
