Haase, Claudia
Associate Professor of Human Development and Social Policy and Psychology
Description of Interests
My research program examines age-related changes, sources, and consequences of individual differences in emotion and motivation across the life span in individuals and dyads. My work uses multiple met... [more]
Hartmann, Mitra
Professor of Biomedical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering
Description of Interests
We are interested in the neuroscience of active sensing behaviors and particularly the sense of touch. We use the rodent whisker (vibrissal) system as a model to gain insight into closed loop sensorim... [more]
He, Congcong
Assistant Professor of Cell and Developmental Biology
Description of Interests
Research in my lab is centered on intracellular quality control mediated by autophagy (“self-eatingâ€), a lysosomal degradation pathway induced by stress conditions such as fasting and exercise. Autoph... [more]
Heckman, CJ
Professor of Neuroscience
Description of Interests
Electrophysiology and computational modeling of spinal sensorimotor neurons and circuits.
Heimberger, Amy
Professor of Neurosurgery
Description of Interests
Our laboratory studies the unique immunobiology of CNS tumors that informs our development of immuno-oncology therapeutics. The laboratory has been intricately involved in a wide variety of bench-to-b... [more]
Horbinski, Craig
Professor of Pathology
Description of Interests
One of our research focuses is tumor-associated epilepsy. In particular, we seek to understand why gliomas with IDH mutations are more epileptogenic than IDH wild-type gliomas.
Jayaraman, Arun
Associate Professor of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation
Description of Interests
Dr. Arun Jayaraman's work primarily focuses on developing and executing both investigator-initiated and industry-sponsored research in prosthetics, orthotics, rehabilitation robotics, and other assist... [more]
Johnson, Lisa
Assistant Professor of Medical Social Sciences
Description of Interests
The Dynamic Brain Laboratory investigates the brain dynamics underlying memory and cognitive control across the human lifespan. Research combines methods from cognitive psychology and human neuroscien... [more]
Kalb, Robert
Professor of Neurology
Description of Interests
The environment in which an organism resides is never constant and thus appropriate adaptation to changing conditions is required for survival. Cells in metazoans also experience perturbations in thei... [more]
Kath, William
Professor of Applied Mathematics
Description of Interests
Quantitative biological modeling, circadian rhythms, growth and development; computational neuroscience, action potential propagation and dendritic integration in neurons.
