Margaux M. Tolley

Margaux is a neuroscientist with a strong academic background and hands-on experience in research, specializing in muscle physiology, electrophoresis, and protein analysis. Her Master’s research focused on identifying key protein expression differences between fast- and slow-twitch muscle groups in healthy and diseased mice, contributing to a deeper understanding of muscle pathology that occurs in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.

Driven by a deep interest in mental health, Margaux combines scientific inquiry with personal insight, aiming to make a meaningful impact in the field of neuropsychiatric research. She is particularly interested in working with human participants to better understand the neurophysiological underpinnings of disorders such as schizophrenia, ADHD, and bipolar disorder.

With prior experience in western blotting, literature reviews, and statistical analysis, Margaux is building a career that bridges laboratory science, translational research, and public engagement. She takes an integrative approach to life and research—valuing structure, creativity, and continuous improvement.
