About
Sébastien Berquet was a French-American researcher at LaNeNa, where he investigated how the human brain perceives aesthetic values encountered throughout life. Sébastien was born and raised in Paris (France), and later moved to Chicago to complete his B.S in Molecular & Cellular Neuroscience. Later, he got a master’s degree in Biomedical Engineering from Johns Hopkins University. He continues to collaborate with LaneNa in a study of how humans perceive visual complexity. Sébastien also served as an Admin and Online Lab Manager for LaNeNa, responsible for developing its online presence.
Sébastien strongly believes that international collaborations, free and open access to scientific information, as well as interdisciplinary efforts are required to answer any of Humanity and Neuroscience’s greatest questions. In 2023, Sébastien moved to Baltimore to join the Johns Hopkins University, Whiting School of Engineering as a graduate student to expand his scientific knowledge outside of his field, in areas related to Biomedical and Biotech Engineering. There he learned to develop innovative solutions to improve life and create a better future both as individuals and as a society. In addition, Sébastien is specialized in Molecular and Cellular Neuroscience, Psychology and Biology of Perception, Neural Disease/ Degeneration/ Regeneration, and Neuroscientific Research.
Aside from being an international student and neuroscientist, he is a huge European soccer fan, with his favorite teams being Paris SG and the French national team. Sébastien continued playing soccer at Loyola, where he joined the Loyola Club Soccer team, and even served as a Financial Officer on the board for a year. Aside from sports, Sébastien also holds a Nationally Registered EMT license and can speak English, French, and Spanish.
