Our research seeks to understand how protein synthesis at the synapse is used to facilitate experience-dependent changes in brain function. Advances in...
My research program has a translational mission centered around the genetics of epilepsy. We recognize that epilepsy is a common condition with many causes and... Read more about Annapurna Poduri
The Quintana laboratory studies the regulation of the immune response by endogenous and environmental factors, with the ultimate goal of dissecting the... Read more about Francisco Javier Quintana
Sensory information from the environment drives reflexive and motivated behaviors in all organisms. The types of information that are detected, how this...
Chronic pain and headache disorders are two leading causes of disability world-wide. Improving treatments for these conditions is a major focus of my lab...
Animals are intrinsically computational. We acquire sensory information about our environments, transform this information into neural representations and... Read more about Aravinthan Samuel
Vincent and Stella Coates Professor of Neurologic Diseases
Our laboratory is interested in the biochemistry and molecular and cell biology of neuronal degeneration during aging of the mammalian brain, particularly in... Read more about Dennis J. Selkoe
As we age, our brains lose neurons, which cannot be replenished. When neuronal loss reaches above certain threshold, people develop devastating symptoms,...
We are interested in interactions between the two fundamental cell types of the nervous system, neurons and glia. My laboratory seeks to understand how...
The Tang lab seeks to understand the molecular and cellular basis of human brain disorders in order to ultimately develop precision medicine therapeutics. We... Read more about Xin Tang

I serve as Director of the Genetics and Aging Research Unit at MGH, which focuses on the molecular genetics of Alzheimer's disease (AD), as Vice Chair of... Read more about Rudolph Emile Tanzi
Preserving cognitive function is a major challenge in an increasingly aging population. Alzheimer's disease alone affects an estimated 5.5 million Americans... Read more about Christiane Wrann
Our lab aims to understand the in vivo functions of certain genes identified in neurodegenerative and developmental disorders of the human brain such as...
