Labs

  • The Boland Lab applies an integrated developmental and functional approach to model neurological disorders using human-induced pluripotent stem cells.

  • Frankel Lab is devoted to understanding the genetic basis of neurological disorders with an emphasis on epilepsy and a growing interest in closely related synaptic disorders that include seizures.

  • Research in the Gelinas Lab focuses on understanding the physiology of neural networks that mediate cognitive functions in the brain and how they are disrupted by epileptic activity.

  • Research in the Harms Lab is focused on harnessing emerging genetic technologies to understand, identify, and model genes that cause inherited neuromuscular diseases.

  • The Makinson lab takes a multi-modal approach to understand the complex relationships between early developmental genetic impairments and evolving disease phenotypes.

  • The goal of Peng Lab is to understand the circuit and molecular mechanisms underlying sleep regulation in both normal and diseased brains.
