Clark Center Faculty

Dr. Sergiu Pasca's lab employs state-of-the-art stem cell biology, genome engineering, imaging and neuroscience approaches to identify the dynamical processes that go awry in neural cells derived from patients with neuropsychiatric disorders, such as autism or schizophrenia, and what should be therapeutically targeted in these conditions.

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.

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.

The long term goal of the Frydman lab's research is to understand how proteins fold in living cells.

Dr. Guibas works on algorithms for sensing, modeling, reasoning, rendering, and acting on the physical world.

The Chu Lab develops and uses state-of-the-art technologies in spectroscopy and microscopy to interrogate biological systems.

Dr. Delp's work draws on computational mechanics, medical imaging, and neuromuscular biology to improve treatments for neurologic and musculoskeletal diseases.

Dr. Elias's lab develops and applies mass spectrometry techniques for studying, complex biological systems.

Dr. Ganguli's lab works on theoretical neuroscience, with the fundamental goal of understanding how networks of neurons and synapses cooperate across multiple scales of space and time to mediate important brain functions, like sensory perception, motor control, and memory.
