    We study the genetic and cellular mechanisms through which sensory and emotional experiences alter information processing in neural circuits. Our research is highly interdisciplinary and combines genomic, molecular, histological, electrophysiological, in vivo imaging and behavioral techniques into an integrative Molecular Systems Neuroscience approach. 

     

    We seek to recruit M.Sc. students for the following projects:

    - Molecular properties of functionally defined neurons in the cortex - the project combines in vivo GCaMP imaging & photo-labelling, advanced sequences methods and spatial transcriptomics. 

    - Genetic and cellular mechanisms through which schizophrenia-associated interneurons regulate the plasticity of cortical circuits.

    - The genetic basis of representational stability in the cortex.

    - Genes & transcriptional mechanisms in GABAergic interneurons that restrict plasticity in cortical circuits.

    - Subcellular genetic mechanisms that integrate sensory and contextual/emotional information in neurons.

    Students are being sought for developing new experiments in the area of electron-enhanced nuclear magnetic resonance. This so-called dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) NMR experiment subjects electrons in the sample to microwave irradiation, and then uses the ensuing nuclear polarization enhancement to open new analytical and metabolic frontiers in NMR. Students are being sought that will participate in these experiments, and assist in programming the spin physics involved in them
