1. Azad Bonni, MD, PhD

   Neuronal cell development; glioblastoma

   Investigate key intracellular signaling pathways in neuronal cell development and maturation as well as in brain tumors such as glioblastoma  

   

2. Jeff Lichtman, PhD

   Structure and function studies of neuronal development and neural connections

   In order to better understand the way information about the world is stored in the brain and what form that information takes we generate neuronal maps, connectomes, and investigate the mechanisms ...

   

3. Joshua Sanes, PhD

   Brain information processing and synaptic architecture

   Synapses are the main information processing sites in the brain. Defects in their function underlie many neurological and behavioral disorders, and there is increasing evidence that many of these ...

   

4. David Van Vactor, Jr, PhD

   Cell biology of neuronal connectivity: axon guidance; synapse; signaling mechanisms

   Studies on axon guidance and synapse formation in metazoans such as Drosophila that are in many cases directly relevant to mammalian cells.
