Biography

Carolina Rezával is Professor of Neurogenetics at the School of Biosciences. Born in Patagonia, Argentina, she earned her PhD in Biology from the University of Buenos Aires, studying circadian rhythms and neurodegeneration in Drosophila. Her postdoctoral work at the University of Oxford focused on the genetic and neural basis of sexually dimorphic behaviours in flies. As a BBSRC Research Co-Investigator, she examined how differences in male and female fly brains drive distinct behaviours. Professor Rezaval was awarded a Birmingham Fellowship and established her research group in mid 2018.

Carolina is a Fellow of the FENS-Kavli Network of Excellence and her research has been supported by UKRI, Leverhulme Trust, the British Council, The Royal Society, and the Wellcome Trust.
