Colt Tallant, BS

Research Technician

Colt completed his bachelor’s in biology at Georgia State University and was trained on stereotaxic surgery and animal behavioral modeling of neurological disease at Emory University College of Medicine and Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. His research primarily focuses on behavior studies and transcriptomics in stroke, hemorrhage and neurodegeneration mouse models, but is also passionate about incorporating business strategies from outside of academia into the research lab to increase productivity and reduce costs to provide higher rates of return from funding. 

His current emphasis is in transcription changes, motor memory, and learning in a novel transgenic mouse model of cerebellar degeneration to study the role of the cerebellum in previously undescribed pathways outside of known functions and vascular disease.
