  • Davi Bock
    Fellow

    RESEARCH FOCUS:

    Davi Bock studies how the activity of neuronal circuits relates to the anatomical wiring diagram of the neurons comprising the circuitry. More
  • Kristin Branson, Ph.D.
    Fellow

    RESEARCH FOCUS:

    Kristin Branson's research is aimed at creating high-throughput tools to help biologists characterize the behavior of genetic model organisms. More
  • Sydney Brenner, D.Phil.
    Senior Fellow

    RESEARCH FOCUS:

    Sydney Brenner's pioneering research has helped elucidate the mysteries of the genetic code and introduced entirely new ways of thinking about molecular biology.
  • Gwyneth Card, Ph.D.
    Fellow

    RESEARCH FOCUS:

    Gwyneth Card uses high-throughput behavior tracking and new electrophysiological techniques to study the neural circuits that govern simple decision behavior during Drosophila escape responses. More
  • Dmitri B. Chklovskii, Ph.D.
    Group Leader

    RESEARCH FOCUS:

    By mapping the brain's form, in particular, the wiring of its neuronal circuits, Dmitri Chklovskii seeks to understand its function—how trillions of electrical impulses make us move, talk, think, and feel. More
  • David A. Clayton, Ph.D.
    Laboratory Head

    RESEARCH FOCUS:

    David Clayton explores the molecular aspects of mitochondrial genome organization, maintenance, and expression in various mammalian cell types. More
  • Winfried Denk, Ph.D.
    Senior Fellow

    RESEARCH FOCUS:

    Winfried Denk is interested in the development and application of new optical methods for biomedical research.
  • Joshua T. Dudman, Ph.D.
    Fellow

    RESEARCH FOCUS:

    Joshua Dudman is interested in understanding how the brain associates sensory input and motor output during the selection and performance of reinforced actions.

  • Sean R. Eddy, Ph.D.
    Group Leader

    RESEARCH FOCUS:

    Sean Eddy is interested in identifying genes that make functional RNAs instead of encoding proteins. More
  • S. E. Roian Egnor, Ph.D.
    Fellow

    RESEARCH FOCUS:

    Roian Egnor uses multigenerational groups of socially housed mice to study the neural basis of complex vocal and social behavior. More
