DESCRIPTION:A world-renowned neurobiologist and member of the National Acad
 emy of Sciences\, Cori Bargmann is known for her work on the genetic and n
 eural circuit mechanisms of behavior\, particularly the mechanisms of olfa
 ction in the worm C. elegans. In 2014\, she was chosen to lead President O
 bama’s BRAIN Initiative\, and she served as head of science at the Chan 
 Zuckerberg Initiative from 2016 to 2022. Bargmann earned a bachelor’s in
  biochemistry from UGA. During her doctoral work at MIT\, she examined the
  molecular mechanisms of oncogenesis and helped identify the role of Ras i
 n bladder cancer. Although the relevance of her research was doubted at th
 e time\, it later led to significant treatments in breast cancer.A world-r
