Dezhe Jin
Associate Professor of Physics
Computational models of neural basis of motor control and learning; theoretical analysis of biological neural networks.
Yingwei Mao
Associate Professor of Biology
Regulation of neurogenesis using cellular and mouse models; analysis of abnormal neural progenitor cell (NPC) proliferation and its relationship to mental illnesses; identification of drugs that can reverse mouse models of psychiatric disorders.
Richard Ordway
Professor of Molecular Neuroscience and Genetics
Genetic analysis of neural function.
James Pawelczyk
Associate Professor of Physiology and Kinesiology
Neural control of circulation, particularly skeletal muscle blood flow, as it is affected by exercise or spaceflight.
Jonas Rubenson
Associate Professor of Kinesiology
Integrating experimental and modeling approaches to study gait and skeletal muscle function during locomotion in both health and disease/impairment. In particular, the relationship between in vivo muscle mechanics and metabolic energetics and mechanisms underlying locomotor adaptation and optimization.
Suzanne Gonzalez
Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health and of Pharmacology
My laboratory
focuses on neuropsychiatric genetics in diverse populations. I am particularly
interested in understanding how genetic polymorphisms within key physiological
pathways translate into clinical phenotypes of psychiatric disorders, such as
bipolar disease and schizophrenia.
Nikki Crowley
Huck Early Career Chair in Neurobiology & Neural Engineering; Assistant Professor of Biology and Biomedical Engineering; Associate Director for Postdoctoral Training and Leadership, Center for Neural Engineering
Investigation of peptidergic transmission throughout the brain, using cell-specific and pathway-specific manipulations to understand how peptides alter neuronal signaling and behavior, particularly in the context of stress and drug use.
