After an undergraduate and MSc degree at the University of Manchester, Pete undertook his PhD as part of the MRC doctoral training program (DTP) at KCL. He was jointly supervised in the Cooke lab and the lab of Dr Alessio Delogu, where he worked on the functional role of inhibitory interneurons in the thalamus during circadian influences on sensory processing. Pete is now working as a post-doctoral scientist in the laboratory of Professor Kevin O'Byrne at KCL.
