Horbinski, Craig

Horbinski, Craig

Professor of Pathology

Description of Interests

One of our research focuses is tumor-associated epilepsy. In particular, we seek to understand why gliomas with IDH mutations are more epileptogenic than IDH wild-type gliomas.

Jayaraman, Arun

Jayaraman, Arun

Associate Professor of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation

Description of Interests

Dr. Arun Jayaraman's work primarily focuses on developing and executing both investigator-initiated and industry-sponsored research in prosthetics, orthotics, rehabilitation robotics, and other assist... [more]

Johnson, Lisa

Johnson, Lisa

Assistant Professor of Medical Social Sciences

Description of Interests

The Dynamic Brain Laboratory investigates the brain dynamics underlying memory and cognitive control across the human lifespan. Research combines methods from cognitive psychology and human neuroscien... [more]

Kalb, Robert

Kalb, Robert

Professor of Neurology

Description of Interests

The environment in which an organism resides is never constant and thus appropriate adaptation to changing conditions is required for survival. Cells in metazoans also experience perturbations in thei... [more]

Kath, William

Kath, William

Professor of Applied Mathematics

Description of Interests

Quantitative biological modeling, circadian rhythms, growth and development; computational neuroscience, action potential propagation and dendritic integration in neurons.

Kearney, Jennifer

Kearney, Jennifer

Associate Professor of Pharmacology

Description of Interests

Research in my laboratory is focused on identifying genetic factors that contribute to severe childhood epilepsies and neurodevelopmental disorders. To understand how genetic variations contribute to ... [more]

Kennedy, Ann

Kennedy, Ann

Assistant Professor of Neuroscience

Description of Interests

I am a theoretical neuroscientist studying the structure of animal behavior and the neural mechanisms of flexible and adaptive behavior control, using tools from dynamical systems, statistical modelin... [more]

Kessler, John

Kessler, John

Davee Professor of Neurology

Description of Interests

Our research has focused extensively on the regulation of gene expression by stem/progenitor cells and their differentiated progeny. We have defined signaling pathways that direct glial and neuronal l... [more]

Kimchi, Eyal

Kimchi, Eyal

Assistant Professor of Neurology

Description of Interests

I am a systems neuroscientist and clinically active neurologist. I lead translational research on the brain networks and dynamic rhythms that support clear thinking, with a commitment to understanding... [more]

Kiskinis, Evangelos

Kiskinis, Evangelos

Assistant Professor of Neurology

Description of Interests

My laboratory harnesses the power of human pluripotent stem cells to study neuronal development as well as to understand how neuronal function is impaired as a result of injury or disease. We utilize ... [more]
