Development & Neuroscience
Research ranges from sensory physiology, aging and neuroendocrine function through nervous system development and the cell biology of motility. Our current expansion is adding junior and senior faculty who ask basic biological questions using model genetic systems such as Drosophila, zebrafish, C. elegans, chick or urchin. Faculty include Drs. Chiba, Dallman, Lu,Skromne, Tosney, Tokarz, Wikramanayake and D. Wilson. |
