Description: NIH Neuroscience Seminar Series

We use molecular genetics to understand the logic of neural circuit assembly. Our work has primarily focused on using Drosophila as a model system, although we are also working on studying analogous problems in mice. We are currently working on three problems: 1) signaling to cytoskeleton that underlying morphological development and structural plasticity of individual neurons; 2) cellular and molecular mechanisms of axon and dendrite pruning; 3) the logic and molecular mechanisms of wiring the olfactory circuits in the fly brain.
