Emma Wood graduated with a 1st class Honours degree in Psychology from the University of St Andrews before going to Canada on a Commonwealth Scholarship to complete her PhD in Neuroscience at the University of British Columbia. She then spent 6 years in the USA as a postdoc - first in the lab of Janis Weeks at the University of Oregon, studying neural mechanisms of non-associative learning in the caterpillar Manduca sexta, and next in the lab of Howard Eichenbaum at Boston University,investigating how hippocampal place cells contribute to memory. She was recruited to a Lectureship in Neuroscience at the University of Edinburgh in 1999, and now holds a Personal Chair in Behavioural Neuroscience in the Centre for Discovery Brain Sciences and Simons Foundation for the Developing Brain at the University of Edinburgh.
