description of their research.
Jon "Chris" Armour , Lecturer (PSOE)
Darwin K. Berg, Professor
of Biology
Molecular and cellular neurobiology;
regulation of synaptic components on neurons.
Lisa Boulanger, Assistant
Professor of Biology
Mandy Butler , Lecturer (SOE)
Gert
Cauwenberghs,
Professor of Biology
Andrew Chisholm , Professor of Biology
Genetics of neuronal and epidermal morphogenesis in C. elegans.
George Fortes, Associate Professor
Kathy French , Lecturer (SOE)
Anirvan Ghosh,
Professor of Biology
Molecular neurobiology; mechanisms of cortical development and plasticity; calcium regulation of gene expression.
Shelley Halpain ,
Professor of Biology
The Halpain Laboratory works at the interface of cell biology and neuroscience to investigate molecular mechanisms in the morphogenesis of axons, dendrites, and synapses. Through time-lapse imaging and quantitative fluorescence-based analyses, we study how the actin and microtubule cytoskeletons regulate neuronal form and function.
Yishi Jin,
Professor of Biology
Molecular genetic mechanisms of synapse formation, neuron circuit regulation and nerve regeneration.
William B. Kristan,
Professor of Biology
Neurobiology; neuronal basis of behavior;
development of simple nervous systems.
Roberto Malinow ,
Professor of Biology
The Malinow Lab studies the biological basis of memory function and dysfunction by studying the physiology of rodent synapses.
Mauricio Montal,
Professor of Biology
Molecular neurobiology; molecular
basis of electrical excitability and signal transduction in neural
membranes; molecular design of channel proteins.
Gentry Patrick,
Assistant Professor of Biology
Neurobiology; the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS),
one of the major cellular pathways controlling protein turnover in mammalian
cells. .
Pamela Reinagel,
Assistant Professor of Biology
Neural coding of visual information by thalamic neurons; temporal and
population coding, natural scenes, visual behavior.
Massimo Scanziani, Professor of Biology
Understanding the circuits controlling the spatial and temporal structure of cortical activity..
Terrence J. Sejnowski,
Professor of Biology, UCSD/Salk Institute
Neurobiology; computational models
of the nervous system; mechanisms for synaptic plasticity.
Nicholas C. Spitzer,
Professor of Biology
Developmental neurobiology; control
of expression of neuronal phenotypes.
Jing W. Wang,
Assistant Professor of Biology
Systems neurobiology; representation and processing
of olfactory information in simple olfactory system.
Yimin Zou , Associate Professor
of Biology
Molecular and cellular mechanisms of axon pathfinding, target specificaton and neuronal migration in nervous system development.
Charles Zuker, Professor
of Biology
Molecular neurobiology; signal transduction.
