The Synaptic Computation Lab

Investigating Synaptic Intimacies

The focus of the laboratory's work is to understand how synaptic connections form, how synapses transmit information, and how synapses undergo plastic changes in their structure and function. To complement this basic research in neuroscience, the lab also studies how alterations in neuronal signaling underlie several neurological and myasthenic diseases.

The lab combines behavior, electrophysiology, fluorescence imaging, electron microscopy, molecular biology, and protein biochemistry with Drosophila genetics to address these questions.

Teamwork

We are scrutinizing several risk-factor including multiple genes and environmental interaction to address how it modulates the frequency of occurrence, the prognosis, and the treatments of several neurological condition and 

Legs in Jeans

One of our major labor is contributing to generating a diverse and well trained scientific workforce at all levels 

We are happy to provide our scientific knowledge to provide services in a reliable and fast model system, customized for the client for directed screenings, treatments, prognosis and toxicology 

Drama Students

Life-Lab fosters inside and outside activities including personal and groupal meeting, collaborations, exange inside and out side the country, national and international workshops and scientific meetings 

Collecting Money

Privates non-profit institutions and US-governmental agencies support our work 

Open Book

Would you mind checking our literature which resembles part of our scientific work?

Our major aim focuses on understanding how the nervous system and neurological conditions are modulated by different risk factors, including dysfunctional gene expression, and several stress modulators like social and environmental interactions
