The step-by-step differentiation of embryonic cells into different types of neurons lays the foundation for our sensory responses, motor commands, and...
The human brain is a highly organized structure containing myriad axon tracts that follow precise pathways and make predictable connections, yet only a...
My research focuses on pediatric brain tumors, particularly high-grade gliomas and other malignant brain tumors that are in greatest need of therapeutic... Read more about Mariella Filbin
Our broad interest is to understand how cell-cell signaling molecules set up spatial pattern, particularly in the formation of neuronal connections. We...
Cognition, perception, and behavior all rely on the activity of precisely organized networks of neurons. We have a strong understanding of the basic...
The mission of the Greka laboratory is to define fundamental aspects of membrane protein biology and dissect mechanisms of cellular homeostasis. The...
The brain, which represents 2% of the body mass but consumes 20% of the body energy at rest, is therefore highly dependent on oxygen and nutrients supply...
Our research focuses on identifying how cell biological processes are disrupted in Parkinson's disease and aging, with the overarching goal of our work to...
The major research interest of our laboratory is the genetic control of the development and behavior of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, with the goal of... Read more about H Robert Horvitz
Dr. Hyman's laboratory studies the anatomical and molecular basis of dementia in Alzheimer's disease and dementia with Lewy bodies. Approaches focus on... Read more about Bradley Theodore Hyman
The goal of our laboratory is to prevent the causes of brain degeneration and loss of neuronal function. In addition, we aim to repair brain function by...
Research in the Karmacharya laboratory uses approaches at the intersection of chemical biology and stem cell biology in order to investigate cellular pathways... Read more about Rakesh Karmacharya
