Logan Friedrich received his Bachelor of Science in Cellular and Molecular Biology from Wisconsin Lutheran College in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where he conducted guided and independent research in directed stem cell differentiation, cancer biology, and genetic engineering, including co-founding the institution's iGEM team. Following graduation, he contributed to neuroscience research in the Hearing Laboratory at Marquette University, investigating opioid-induced plasticity in the prefrontal cortex, before joining the Advocate Aurora Research Institute, where he developed patient-derived brain cancer cell lines and novel quality control methodologies for translational neuro-oncology research.
In 2021, Logan joined the laboratory of Dr. Murray Blackmore at Marquette University as a lab manager and research technologist, contributing to the lab's spinal cord injury research, most notably including development of novel instrumentation and analysis tools for behavioral assessment. He is now a second year Neuroscience PhD pursuing graduate student in the Blackmore Lab, where his research investigates kinematic signatures of motor recovery and the contribution of residual spared circuits to recovery potential.
