Prakriya, Murali
Professor of Pharmacology
Description of Interests
Ca2+ is a ubiquitous intracellular signaling messenger regulating a wide range of functions including enzyme activation, gene expression, and neurotransmitter release. Cellular Ca2+ signals arise from... [more]
Ragin, Ann
Research Professor of Radiology
Description of Interests
My primary interests concern quantitative neuroimaging technologies, including neurovascular 4D flow MRI and brain network analysis to investigate the impact of viruses (e.g. HIV, Covid) and brain agi... [more]
Raman, Indira
Professor of Neurobiology
Description of Interests
In the Raman lab, we study specializations of ion channels and synaptic physiology that permit cerebellar neurons—Purkinje neurons, granule cells, inhibitory interneurons, and output neurons of the ce... [more]
Reber, Paul
Professor of Psychology
Description of Interests
We study the cognitive neuroscience of learning in memory with complex cognitive tasks. Our approach is grounded in memory systems theory that reflects the operations of different mechanisms of memory... [more]
Rocklin, Gabriel
Assistant Professor of Pharmacology
Description of Interests
We develop high-throughput methods for protein biophysics and protein design, with a focus on protein therapeutics. Key questions include: How do protein sequence and structure determine folding stabi... [more]
Rodriguez-Contreras, Adrian
Associate Professor of Communication Sciences and Disorders
Description of Interests
A main focus of the lab is in elucidating mechanisms of physiological and pathological responses to oxygen shortage in the newborn brain. Decades of studies in laboratory rodents show that neuronal ac... [more]
Rogers, John
Simpson/Querrey Professor of Materials Science and Engineering
Description of Interests
neurotechnology and neuroengineering
Rosas-Vidal, Luis
Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
Description of Interests
We study the neural dynamics of stress and aversive learning, how these processes are modulated by the opioid system, and how they interact with the pursuit of rewards. More specifically, we use a myr... [more]
Sanchez, Jason
Associate Professor of Communication Sciences and Disorders
Description of Interests
Dr. Sanchez’s laboratory investigates the development of time-coding mechanisms in the auditory brainstem using electrophysiological and anatomical approaches. His primary interests are in synaptic tr... [more]
Savas, Jeffrey
Assistant Professor of Neurology
Description of Interests
The overarching goal of our research group is to determine how protein mishandling contributes to synaptic dysfunction, neurodegeneration, and aging. As a starting point we use biochemistry with mass ... [more]
