studies the gene regulatory mechanisms that underlie psychiatric disease using rodents models of drug use and chronic stress
All tagged Genetics & Epigenetics
Dr. Tingting Wang
studies how glial cells regulate homeostatic plasticity, and uses transcriptomic and electrophysiological techniques to study how their functions change in disease states.
Dr. Janine Kwapis
studies the epigenetic and molecular basis of long-term memory, particularly how these mechanisms are altered in the aging brain and how epigenetic regulation of circadian genes might contribute to age-related memory decline.
Dr. Abha Gupta
researches the neurogenetic underpinnings of autism within understudied populations of the broader ASD community
Dr. Farah Lubin
studies the molecules that control gene expression and their roles in learning and memory in the brain
Dr. Maria Lehtinen
studies cerebrospinal fluid signaling in health and disease
Dr. Marina Picciotto
studies how single molecules control complex behaviors related to addiction, depression, feeding and learning
Dr. Elizabeth Tunbridge
studies links between genes and brain dysfunction in psychiatric illness
Dr. Renata Batista-Brito
studies the role of interneurons in cortical sensory processing
Dr. Bianca Jones Marlin
studies how experience impacts neuroscience and behavior
Dr. Brenda Bloodgood
studies how brain circuitry changes in response to experience
