Kyle Fischer received his PhD in neuroscience from UC San Diego in 2018. His thesis work was conducted in the lab of Dr. Ed Callaway at the Salk Institute, where he developed viral-based tools for neuroscientific applications. Kyle now works at Neurocrine Biosciences in San Diego, where he applies the skills he learned during his PhD to help develop curative gene therapies for neurological disorders. In his free time you can find Kyle outside birding, brushing up on his botany, or sharing a wave with Pascal at Tourmaline.
