Asarnow, Robert, Ph.D.
Research Recovery of function following pediatric brain injury; Neurocognitive function in acquired and genetic brain disease Appointments Biography There are three major foci of Asarnow’s current research. The first is a family genetic study of children with schizophrenia and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder which systematically evaluated alternative ways of measuring the schizophrenia phenotype. The second […]
Fan, Guoping, Ph.D.
Research Molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying neural development Appointments Appointments His current research focuses on the actions of DNA methylation and chromatin-remodeling in regulating neural gene expression, neuronal function, and stem cell differentiation and reprogramming.

Butler, Samantha, Ph.D.
Research Generation and repair of neural circuits Appointments Appointments Dr. Butler is focused on determining how neurons translate morphogens, such as the Bone Morphogenetic Protein (BMP) family of growth factors, over time to mediate strikingly different processes in the generation of neural circuits. During the course of these studies, she identified a critical mechanism by […]
Colwell, Christopher, Ph.D.
Research Circadian rhythms, neural control of behavior Appointments Appointments The Colwell laboratory’s research has focused on understanding the mechanisms underlying circadian rhythms in mammals. Dysfunction in the timing of these daily cycles is a key symptom in a number of neurological and psychiatric disorders. Better understanding of the basic biology of this timing system should […]
Andrews, Anne, Ph.D.
Research Role of serotonin in anxiety and mood disorders; human gene variants and serotonin transporter function; voltammetry; microdialysis; nanobiosensors Appointments Biography Dr. Andrews leads efforts in basic and translational research on anxiety and depression, and at the nexus of nanoscience and neuroscience. Andrews’ interdisciplinary research team of neuroscientists, biologists, chemists, and engineers focuses on understanding […]
Geschwind Daniel, M.D., Ph.D.
Research Developmental neurogenetics Appointments Appointments Dr. Geschwind’s laboratory conducts research in three primary areas of neurogenetics: Utilizing a multi-pronged approach, he studies normal human and animal model brain patterning to diseases in which language and social communication are disrupted, such as autism.
