Dr. Clandinin's laboratory is focused on two questions: how do complex neuronal circuits assemble during development and disassemble in disease, and how do such circuits mediate the complex computations essential to behavior?

Dr. Leng has an active program in imaging informatics and deep learning to perform big data analyses of retinal scans to identify patients who are at risk for retinal disease deterioration, with the end goal of earlier detection and rapid treatment to maximize visual outcomes; and is considered a leading expert optical coherence tomography (OCT), a non-invasive and non-contact imaging technique for the retina.

Dr. Palmer's lab's research examines how neural stem cells respond to genetic and environmental cues to add and integrate new neurons into functional circuits.

Dr. Nicolson's lab is interested in the senses of balance and hearing and have undertaken a forward genetics approach with zebrafish to identify genes that are required for function of the auditory/vestibular system.
