Innovative new technologies and approaches allow us to tackle previously intractable biologic problems. From building cutting-edge microscopy platforms to growing human brain organoids, our scientists are never satisfied with the status-quo.
As we advance our innovative research enterprise, we seek to answer the following questions.
These are just some of the ways that hubs of innovation in the Department of Developmental Neurobiology help us accelerate our understanding of how the nervous system forms during development and what goes awry in catastrophic childhood illness.
Investigating synaptic membrane and protein dynamics with millisecond temporal and nanometer spatial resolution.
Leveraging multi-omics approaches to understand genetic risk and developmental origins driving disease pathogenesis.
Exploring mechanisms of neuromodulatory circuit organization
Understanding the link between cell polarity signaling and neuronal differentiation during cerebellar development
Understanding the molecular detail underlying basic mechanisms of organelle quality control and organelle trafficking in neurons.
