Ma, Yongchao
Associate Professor of Pediatrics and Neurology
Description of Interests
Genetic, neurometabolic and mitochondrial regulation of neural development and degeneration RNA methylation on N6-adenosine is emerging as a critical regulator of RNA functions and metabolism. We rece... [more]
Maccaferri, Gianmaria
Professor of Neuroscience
Description of Interests
My interest is focused on the hippocampus, which is an area of the brain involved in higher cognitive functions, and is often the target of neurological illnesses like epilepsy, schizophrenia and Alzh... [more]
Martina, Marco
Professor of Neuroscience
Description of Interests
The lab has three main interests: currently, the main interest of the lab is the identification of the cortical cellular mechanisms (and potential drug targets) that drive the transition from acute to... [more]
Mazzulli, Joe
Associate Professor of Neurology (Movement Disorders)
Description of Interests
The Mazzulli Lab is interested in determining how protein misfolding and amyloid formation results in cell death. Many chronic neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease a... [more]
McIver, Malcolm
Professor of Mechanical Engineering
Description of Interests
Professor MacIver believes that the body’s mechanical intelligence can be just as important, if not more important, than what’s going on in your head. His primary scientific efforts are in understandi... [more]
McLean, David
Associate Professor of Neurobiology
Description of Interests
Locomotion is a deceptively simple, yet essential behavior. We are interested in how neural circuits in the brainstem and spinal cord develop and ultimately control the speed and direction of locomoto... [more]
McNally, Elizabeth
Director, Center for Genetic Medicine
Description of Interests
We study neuromuscular disorders including those that primarily affect skeletal muscle like the muscular dystrophies. Our work has uncovered primary mutations that lead to neuromuscular disease and cr... [more]
Menichella, Daniela Maria
Assistant Professor of Neurology
Description of Interests
My laboratory investigates the molecular and physiological mechanisms underlying neuropathic pain in hereditary and acquired peripheral neuropathies with a particular focus on Painful Diabetic Neuropa... [more]

Miller, Lee
Professor of Neuroscience
Description of Interests
The primary goal of the research we do in this lab is to understand the nature of the somatosensory and motor signals within the brain that control our movements. We study the "language" of these cont... [more]
