Mark Albers

albers.mark@mgh.harvard.edu

Assistant Professor of Neurology

The goal of the research in the Albers lab is to elucidate the pathogenic actions and physiological functions of genes and mechanisms that cause neurodegenerative disease and develop novel diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. Our principal hypothesis is...

Corey Allard

corey_allard@hms.harvard.edu

Assistant Professor

Our lab studies the molecular and cellular basis of novel organismic physiology and behavior. We emphasize curiosity-driven science and exploration, using comparative approaches featuring a range of unusual and specialized organisms that are uniquely...

Mark Andermann

manderma@bidmc.harvard.edu

Professor in Medicine

The goal of my lab is to understand the role of corticolimbic areas in guiding attention to, and imagery, learning and memory of, motivationally-salient external and interoceptive stimuli. To understand these neural phenomena at the level of local...

Matthew Peter Anderson

mpanders@bidmc.harvard.edu

Associate Professor of Pathology

Matthew P. Anderson, M.D., Ph.D., is Director of Neuropathology, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center; Neuropathologist of Autism BrainNet; and Faculty, Harvard Medical School Ph.D. Program. He won the International Distinguished Dissertation Award (top...

Mandana Arbab

mandana.arbab@childrens.harvard.edu

Assistant Professor

We are a collaborative group of genome editing scientists at the Translational Neuroscience Center of Boston Children’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School department of Neurology. We strive to develop gene-based therapeutics for genetic neurological...

Paola Arlotta

Paola_Arlotta@harvard.edu

Professor of Stem Cell and Regenerative Biology

We are interested in defining the molecular pathways that during development of the mammalian cerebral cortex direct the differentiation of neural progenitors/stem cells into distinct types of projection neurons, and the establishment of their...

John A. Assad

jassad@hms.harvard.edu

Director of the Program in Neuroscience

Professor of Neurobiology

In our lab in the Department of Neurobiology at Harvard Medical School, we worked for many years with non-human primates (NHPs) on a wide variety of questions, including neuronal mechanisms of attention, inference and flexible coding in parietal cortex...

Brian Bacskai

bbacskai@partners.org

Professor in Neurology

Dr. Bacskai's laboratory uses sophisticated optical techniques to address fundamental questions in Alzheimer's disease research. Using the imaging technique multiphoton microscopy, the senile plaques of Alzheimer's disease can be detected in the brains of...

Justin T Baker

jtbaker@partners.org

Assistant Professor of Psychiatry

The Baker Lab at McLean Hospital uses both large-scale studies and "deep-phenotyping" approaches to understand the nature and underlying biology of mental illnesses, particularly lifelong conditions like schizophrenia and bipolar disorder in humans. Deep...

Lorella Battelli

lbattell@bidmc.harvard.edu

Associate Professor of Neurology

In the lab we study the cognitive neuroscience of vision, perception and attention in the adult human brain. We use noninvasive brain stimulation to study brain/behavior relation and to enhance brain functions in healthy subjects and in stroke patients...

Bruce Bean

bruce_bean@hms.harvard.edu

Robert Winthrop Professor of Neurobiology

Research in the Bean lab focuses on the neurophysiology of mammalian neurons, with a goal of understanding how firing patterns of different kinds of neurons are controlled by expression of particular types of ion channels. A major goal in the laboratory...

Nicholas W Bellono

nbellono@harvard.edu

Associate Professor of Molecular and Cellular Biology

Our lab is interested in how organisms adapt to detect and respond to salient environmental signals based on their ecological or behavioral context. We emphasize a curiosity-based approach in which specialized, unconventional systems are exploited to...
