Research programs

SRP1: COGNITION AND CIRCUITS

CHALLENGE: The nervous system is still a frontier of knowledge. Understanding the nervous system circuitry and inner workings at the molecular, biochemical, physiological and behavioral level will help understand human actions.

 

SRP2: AGING AND DISEASE

CHALLENGE: We live in an aging society, leading to an increasing prevalence of pathologies. Understanding the molecular and cellular mechanisms, and their behavioral consequences of neuropathologies and their crosstalk with aging, will lead to novel treatments and improved health.

 

SRP3: NEUROTECHNOLOGY AND REPAIR

CHALLENGE: Increased healthspan requires developing new strategies to improve the function of an aging, or diseased, nervous system. Developing pharmacological, biological, and neurotechnological approaches to target specific diseases and conditions will lead to improved health and well-being.
