Matt Gaidica

Job Titles:
  • Director
  • Assistant Professor of Neuroscience
When the opportunity came along to blend my entrepreneurial background with my academic training in engineering and neuroscience within the amazing (and growing!) community at Washington University in St. Louis, the decision to come here was simple. My goal is to break down any barrier in communication or impediment to success that might normally be at the interface between you and a conventional center or core. As we grow, I want to become the premier training ground for interns or students who will gain mentorship to help realize our collective vision of doing incredible science. I'm an Officer in the Air Force Reserve and will leverage those leadership skills at the hub; domestic innovation and training the next generation are vital to our institution and nation. I am a pilot, FIRST Robotics alumni, SCUBA diver, husband, and recent father to a wonderful little boy. I hope you will consider signing up for our monthly newsletter. I eagerly look forward to meeting you.
