  1. Bruce Bean, PhD

    Neuronal electrical signaling, ion channels, pacemaking, and neuropharmacology

    Investigate the electrical firing and physiology of neuronal ion channels

  2. John Flanagan, PhD

    Molecular analysis of axon guidance

    Investigate molecular mechanisms of axonal guidance, including the continuum of axon response to guidance cues, and the corresponding receptor-mediated signaling.  

  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.
