Alistair Lam
Founder & President
Alistair is a first-year at Yale University. He became interested in neuroscience after prepping for the Brain Bee competition with the Lawrenceville School's Medical League and attending IYNA's Introduction to Neuroscience summer course. He is most intrigued by neuroplasticity, especially synaptic plasticity and its role in learning and memory, as well as neurodegenerative disorders. He enjoys all science electives at school and appreciates how the humanities and the arts complement STEM discoveries. In his free time, he writes, sings, and listens to music. He is contemplating a career in medical research and hopes to find cures to neurologic disorders. As the Founder and President of the Hong Kong Chapter, he hopes to work with like-minded peers and promote neuroscience to students in Hong Kong.
