Assistant Professor of Molecular and Cellular Biology
A long-term goal of my laboratory is to address mechanisms of cellular fatty acid metabolism and their implication in neuronal functions. Fatty acids are... Read more about Jeeyun Chung

Brain function emerges from the coordinated activity of large numbers of neurons. Traditional measurement approaches either probe individual neurons with...
Bertarelli Professor of Translational Medical Science
We are interested in the gating of mechanically sensitive ion channels, which open in response to force on the channel proteins. We study these channels...
Motivational states are the brain's way of matching our behaviors to our needs and capacities: we eat when we're hungry and sleep when we're sleepy—but we...
Frank Baldino, Jr., Ph.D. Professor of Sleep Medicine
Dr. Czeisler has more than 40 years' experience in the field of basic and applied research on the physiology of the human circadian timing system and its... Read more about Charles Czeisler
The goal of our lab is to understand the neurobiological mechanisms of ecologically and evolutionarily relevant behaviors using techniques drawn from...
Assistant Professor of Biological Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology
Our lab studies the molecular mechanisms of sensory transduction, seeking to understand how animals detect the physical and chemical cues from their...
My lab explores new strategies for the treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD) and related synucleinopathies such as Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), Multi-...
Our group investigates the multifaceted influence of light on mammals. How does the retina produce visual information? How is this information processed...
Only less than 2% of the human genome encodes proteins. The rest non-coding part has long been called ‘junk’ DNA. However, we found that some of the non-...
Every decision and behavior is haunted by uncertainty, introduced by the noisy and ambiguous nature of the world that surrounds us. Despite this, we make...
