Neurobiology Research
Our Faculty
Our faculty, all with co-appointments at Harvard Medical School/University, comprise internationally recognized investigators spanning computational, molecular, cell, and systems biology, working in a highly collaborative environment on different model organisms and with access to state-of-the-art equipment and cores.
