Ciprian Catana, M.D., Ph.D.

Person

The focus of my career has been on advancing simultaneous positron emission tomography and magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MRI) toward meaningful clinical human use. Specifically, my efforts have concentrated on developing and validating this novel...

Maxim Prigozhin, Ph.D. (He/ Him/ His)

Person

The Prigozhin lab is involved in collaborative and interdisciplinary work in the area of single-cell and single-molecule biophysics of transmembrane signaling. We are particularly interested in cryo-vitrification, all kinds of electron and optical...

Michael T.H. Do

Person
Our lab asks how light drives functions that are as diverse as visual perception, sleep regulation, hormonal control, and setting of the internal body clock.

We pose this question for species that occupy distinct ecological niches to learn how...

Foundation of Information Directed Molecular Technology: Programming Nucleic Acid Self-Assembly.  

My research interests lie at the interface of information science, molecular engineering, and biology.  We are interested in engineering digitally...

Gary Yellen

Person
We develop fluorescent biosensors for metabolism, and use quantitative two-photon imaging to learn about the regulation and dynamics of cellular metabolism in brain.

Metabolic pathways provide essential energy and building blocks for the function of all...

Bernardo L. Sabatini

Person

The main focus of my research laboratory is to understand the development and regulation of synapses in the brain and the relationship of these processes to behavior and disease.

In the first few years of life, humans tremendously expand their behavior...

Sharad Ramanathan

Person
Our laboratory studies how cells and organisms make decisions.

To arrive at a decision, organisms must measure multiple environmental signals and interpret them appropriately. The questions we are interested in are how cells and organisms interpret...

Bence Ölveczky

Person

We are interested in understanding how complex motor sequences are learned and generated by the nervous system.

What is the identity of the neural circuits involved in motor learning and how do their respective functions change as the animal learns to...

Algorithms and Neural Circuits in Olfaction.

We are interested in understanding the neural and algorithmic basis of odor-guided behaviors in terrestrial animals. To this end, we have developed behavioral tasks in mice using stimuli and situations that...

Maria K. Lehtinen, Ph.D.

Person

Cerebrospinal Fluid-based Signaling During Brain Development and in Disease.

Defined numbers of neural precursor cells are remarkably synchronized in their task to form the brain, yet no central command coordinating this process has been identified...
