Dr. Levitt uses both molecular dynamics simulation and molecular modeling in the hopes of understanding the molecular structure and function of proteins and nucleic acids in enough detail to make accurate predictions about structure and function.
The long-term goal of the Schnitzer lab's research is to advance experimental paradigms for understanding normal cognitive and disease processes at the level of neural circuits, with emphasis on learning and memory processes.
The Boahen lab is bridging the experiment–computation gap by building a computer that works like the brain, feeding back and contributing to a fundamental, biological understanding of how the brain works.
Dr. Shenoy's group (Neural Prosthetic Systems Laboratory, NPSL) conducts neuroscience, neuroengineering, and translational research to better understand how the brain controls movement, and to design medical systems to assist people with movement disabilities.
Dr. Jonas Cremer's lab combines wet-lab approaches and modeling to investigate the physiology of bacterial cells and their ecological interactions. The lab's current focus is the study of gut bacteria and their interactions with each other and the human host.
