Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience and Neurogenetics Group
The Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience and Neurogenetics group investigates mechanisms directing the normal development of the nervous system as well as the pathogenesis causing developmental dysfunctions, i.e. mental retardation and developmental disabilities (MRDD). They use genetics, molecular biology, and cellular and molecular neuroscience to analyze mechanisms in genetically-engineered animal models of human developmental disorders.
