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. Andrew McMahon, PhD

   Developmental and Regenerative Biology

   Investigating the molecular and cellular mechanisms regulating development, repair and regeneration of neural, bone and kidney tissues.

   

3. Alexander Schier, PhD

   Zebrafish as a drug profiling model for sleep disorders

   Chronic sleep disturbance is a problem for a significant number of Americans, but the mechanisms that control sleep and wakefulness are largely unknown. The Schier lab is using zebrafish to ...

   

4. Gary Yellen, PhD

   Ion channel structure and function; epilepsy; fluorescent biosensors

   Study the function of ion channels, such as  the voltage-dependent K+ and pacemaker channels; explore the molecular basis of dietary therapy for epileptic seizures.
