Kevin Cury, Ph.D.

Kevin earned a B.S. in Bioengineering from UC Berkeley and subsequently worked in Arthur Toga's lab at UCLA. As a Ph.D. student in Naoshige Uchida's lab at Harvard University, he combined electrophysiology and rodent psychophysics to study how neural codes guide behavioral choice. As a postdoc in the Axel lab, Kevin turned to Drosophila egg-laying behavior as a model to study sensory-motor integration and behavioral flexibility. During this time, he also established several fruitful collaborations, including work as a Visiting Scientist Fellow at HHMI's Janelia Research Campus and the co-development of DeepLabCut. More recently, Kevin has extended his work to the study of behavior in natural environments, examining how flies recognize and evade their natural predators. This includes a Visiting Scientist Sabbatical at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI), where he conducts fieldwork in Panama on predator-prey interactions involving Neotropical drosophilids, with William Wcislo as his host.
