Laboratories
-
RESEARCH FOCUS:
Luke Lavis works at the interface of chemistry and biology, assembling small-molecule fluorescent dyes to facilitate biological studies. More
-
RESEARCH FOCUS:
Albert Lee's lab uses new electrophysiological tools to study spatial and reward-related learning in freely moving rodents. More -
RESEARCH FOCUS:
Tzumin Lee develops and applies sophisticated genetic mosaic tools to determine how the Drosophila brain develops and may undergo dynamic changes to govern organism behavior. More -
RESEARCH FOCUS:
Anthony Leonardo is interested in general principles underlying neural information processing. His lab investigates the computations neural circuits implement, how robust they are, and how different circuits are linked into systems to produce behaviors. More -
RESEARCH FOCUS:
Zhe Liu is interested in dissecting cell-fate control mechanisms during animal development. More -
RESEARCH FOCUS:
Loren Looger uses protein engineering to create tools—including neurotransmitter detectors, improved labels for in vivo imaging, designed receptors, and rewired neural circuits—to study the brain. His lab will combine computational and evolutionary methods to create new reagents to characterize and manipulate the assembly and function of neural circuits. More -
RESEARCH FOCUS:
Jeffrey Magee is interested in how the biophysical properties of neurons produce the information-processing and storage capabilities of single and small networks of neurons. More -
RESEARCH FOCUS:
Gabe Murphy explores biophysical properties of synapses and neurons that underlie the specificity and fidelity with which neural circuits represent information about sensory stimuli. More
