Tamily Weissman-Unni (born 1972) is a Neurobiology professor at Lewis and Clark College in Portland Oregon.[1] She has published numerous studies on brain development[2][3] and her current research focuses on formation of cerebellar circuits. Additionally, she has won several scientific imaging competitions for her striking multi-color pictures of the brain.[4]
Personal Background and Education
Tamily was born in England but immigrated with her family to Seattle, Washington in her early childhood. She went on to earn a degree in Psychology from Pomona College (1992) and a PhD in Neurobiology from Columbia University (2004).
