Chandel, Navdeep
Professor of Medicine
Description of Interests
Neurological diseases including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Parkinson’s disease (PD), and Alzheimer disease (AD) have all been linked to metabolic dysregulation. We are using mouse models and... [more]
Cheng, Shi-Yuan
Professor of Neurology
Description of Interests
My lab studies the cancer biology and therapy responses of brain tumors, in particular brain gliomas. Our current focuses are on novel cellular signal, RNA biology including RNA splicing, circular RNA... [more]
Contractor, Anis
Professor of Neuroscience
Description of Interests
Research in our laboratory is directed at understanding the fundamental mechanisms of synaptic communication and how these processes go wrong in neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric disorders.
Corcos, Daniel
Professor of Physical Therapy and Human Movement Sciences
Description of Interests
Daniel Corcos is a movement neuroscientist working on “human electrophysiology†using TMS, fMRI, EEG, EMG as well as neuronal recordings the sub thalamic nucleus in patients with Parkinson's disease u... [more]
David, Fabian
Research Associate Professor of Physical Therapy and Human Movement Sciences
Description of Interests
My current research focus is on the therapeutic effects of deep brain stimulation surgery and the neurophysiological mechanisms that underlie these effects in persons with Parkinson’s disease.
Davidson, Shawn
Assistant Professor of Medicine - Pulmonary and Critical Care
Description of Interests
My research focuses on the intersection of metabolism and neuroscience, particularly how metabolic dysfunctions contribute to neurodegenerative diseases. I employ spatial metabolomics to dissect cell-... [more]
DeCaen, Paul
Assistant Professor of Pharmacology
Description of Interests
Pharmacology of neuronal targets and the structural biophysics of ion channels
DeVries, Steve
Professor of Ophthalmology
Description of Interests
We study signal processing in both the outer and inner retina. In the outer retina, we focus on how signals are transformed at the cone photoreceptor to Off bipolar cell synapse. My lab was the first ... [more]
Dewald, Julius P
Professor and Chair of Physical Therapy and Human Movement Sciences
Description of Interests
Our Neuroimaging and Motor Control Laboratories are dedicated to understanding motor recovery following stroke, in learning the role of brain plasticity in recovery, and in developing novel therapeuti... [more]
Dhar, Sumit
Professor of Communication Sciences and Disorders
Description of Interests
Our current work has two main directions. We are interested in understanding the physiological mechanisms responsible for the generation and propagation of sounds that are generated in the inner ear a... [more]
