Christian Eberly graduated summa cum laude from the University of Maryland in 2014 with a B.S. in Neurobiology and Physiology. During his undergraduate studies, he conducted research in the Department of Biology studying neurotransmitter systems that modulate neural circuits in the olfactory bulbs of mice. He has published two papers and presented his research findings at multiple conferences. Currently, Eberly is analyzing epigenetic markers using Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at UMD.
