Unraveling the mysteries of the brain is a complex, daunting task. Neuroscience is by nature an interdisciplinary effort, requiring expertise from multiple fields including psychology, physiology, genetics, chemistry and engineering. We believe that meaningful progress can only be made through collaboration, both within the group and between groups, locally and internationally. Our work spans multiple levels of analysis, from protein engineering through neuronal cell culture, ex-vivo and in-vivo preparations. Projects in the lab typically consist of collaborative work between group members, each contributing their individual expertise.
