Zhang (Chun-Li) Lab research focuses on cellular plasticity in the adult nervous system and modeling human neurodegenerative diseases. We use cell culture and genetically modified mice as model systems. Molecular, cellular, electrophysiological, and behavioral methods are employed.
Interrogating the genome to better understand the mechanisms causing autism spectrum disorder and other neurodevelopmental disorders and inform innovative therapies
The Shahmoradian lab investigates the roles of domain-specific neuronal proteins using advanced cryo-imaging techniques to understand their impact on cellular dynamics and neurological health.
The Douglas lab seeks to understand how stress response pathways alter cell physiology, and ultimately influence the aging process and human disease.
Our lab researches Cerebellar Dysfunction, Brainstem Dysfunction, High-Throughput Screen, and Human Studies.
The significance of our research is to show effective anti-Aβ42 antibody production in large animals and safety of DNA Aβ42 immunotherapy in these models to proceed with vaccination in patients at risk for Alzheimer’s disease.
Roberts Lab focuses on understanding the cellular and circuit mechanisms for behavioral learning, learning from social experiences and from example.
The Wang Lab studies neurodegeneration and cell death induced by brain injury, mitochondrial dysfunction, and/or genome instability.
The Jiang Lab studies ion channels.
Dr. Waugh is a physician-scientist whose research focuses on the structural brain abnormalities that lead to dystonia, a movement disorder that leads muscles to twist and contort into painful positions.
