 Payel completed her PhD from University of British Columbia, Vancouver where she used *Drosophila* as a model system to functionalize human gene variants involved in neurodevelopmental disorders. Currently she is a postdoctoral fellow in the Van Vactor and Artavanis lab where she is again using her favorite model system the "fruit-fly" to understand the mechanism of ALS pathology.

 When not in lab, Payel can be found biking, exploring book shops and cafes.
