John Carlson
The Carlson lab studies the mechanisms by which animals sense environmental chemical cues and translate them into behavior.
Damon Clark
The Clark lab is interested in how networks of neurons perform computations, with a focus on the fruit fly’s visual processing.
Daniel Colón-Ramos
The Colón-Ramos lab couples genetic, molecular, biochemical, behavioral and imaging techniques to identify the signals that direct precise circuit connectivity in the nematode brain and how they change during behavior and learning
Thierry Emonet
The Emonet lab combines mathematical modeling and quantitative experiments to understand the biological computations that enable organisms to sense and navigate their chemical environments.
Marc Hammarlund
The Hammarlund lab develops novel ways to study the cell biology of neurons in vivo, and studies how neurons prevent degeneration, repair injury, and maintain circuit function.
Michael Koelle
The Koelle lab is interested in the molecular mechanisms by which neurons respond to neurotransmitters, and also how neurotransmission is used to control the dynamic activities of neural circuits.
Tony Koleske
The Koleske lab aims to understand synapse development and how it becomes disrupted in neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders.
Janghoo Lim
The Lim lab is interested in understanding the molecular basis of cellular patholog in neurodegenerative diseases, and the mechanisms of brain development and its associated neurological disorders.
Michael Nitabach
The Nitabach lab uses genetic, physiological, and behavioral approaches to understand information processing principles by which neural circuits control animal behavior.
James Noonan
The Noonan lab’s research program is focused on deciphering the role of gene regulatory changes in the evolution of uniquely human traits, and in the neurodevelopmental phenotype of autism.
Michael O’Donnell
The O’Donnell lab is interested in understanding how microbes impact the behavior of host animals, with a focus on the impact of bacteria on nervous system function.
In-Hyun Park
The Park lab uses induced pluripotent stem cells to investigate genetic and epigenetic regulation of reprogramming, and human neurodevelopmental disease.
