Bio
Dr. Tye is the Wylie Vale Professor at The Salk Institute for Biological Studies, where her lab focuses on understanding how the brain processes the differences between positive and negative stimuli, and leveraging cutting-edge techniques to reprogram neural circuits to induce long lasting changes in behavior. She completed her postdoctoral training at Stanford University, and started her independent laboratory at Massachusetts Institute of Technology before moving to Salk.
