-
Associate Professor, Department of Neuroscience
Research Area(s): Cell Signaling; Development; NeurogeneticsResearch Interests: Molecular and cellular mechanisms of brain wiring
-
Associate Professor, Department of Neuroscience
Research Area(s): Development; NeurogeneticsResearch Interests: We investigate how memories for appetitive stimuli are encoded in the brain and how drugs of abuse affect the molecular pathways in these circuits to result in aberrant motivational response. We combine genetics, behavior, in vivo imaging in behaving animals, molecular biology and biochemistry to address this.
-
Professor, Department of Neuroscience
Research Area(s): Cell Signaling; NeurogeneticsResearch Interests: I study the expression, regulation, and function of voltage-gated calcium ion channels in different regions of the nervous system. I am also interested in their role in chronic pain and psychiatric disorders.

Professor, Department of Neuroscience
Research Area(s): Cell Signaling; Development; NeurogeneticsResearch Interests: How neurons build synaptic connections that reliably control behavior while maintaining the ability to modulate their function over a lifetime of new experiences and environments.
-
Professor of Biology, Department of Molecular Biology, Cell Biology and Biochemistry
Research Area(s): Biology of Aging; Cell Signaling; Development; NeurogeneticsResearch Interests: We are interested in evolution of brain function and behavior. Our primary model system is Drosophila, the fruit fly, for its powerful traditional and molecular genetics. Our main question is - how do genomes encode and regulate proteins involved in rapid electrical and chemical signaling in the brain, normally and in disease?
-
Assistant Professor, Department of Molecular Biology, Cell Biology and Biochemistry
Research Area(s): Biology of Aging; Cell Signaling; NeurogeneticsResearch Interests: How internal and external signals induce molecular and cellular mechanisms to promote longevity and impact age-related diseases and whether these conditions (positive or negative) can be transmitted to subsequent generations.
-
Professor, Department of Molecular, Cellular Biology and Biochemistry
Research Area(s): Cell Signaling; Development; NeurogeneticsResearch Interests: How signaling molecules facilitate the communication between cells.
