Graduate Students are the beating heart of our department. Our Research focuses on the real time, complex function of the body's system-the core phenomenon is an exchange of information. Our Faculty studies this issue at across a massive scale of body organization, ranging from the molecular, through the cellular, into tissue, and eventually to systems and behavior. Our goal is to draw a line between these scales to give a fundamental explanation for complex human abilities such as pain, sensation, breathing, homeostasis, and so on. We are well equipped to meet this challenge. Our laboratories are equipped with the latest edge technology in next-generation sequencing, genome-modification, CRISPR-based gene editing, dense neurophysiological recording, high-throughput screening and in vivo two photon imaging to name a few. We invite you to join our growing teams and help us push forward to discovery.
