Mission

We are united by our common curiosity about how organisms work and our drive to establish a quantitative and mechanistic understanding of molecular, cellular, and nervous system function. Our research builds on our traditional strengths in the fields of neuroscience, physiology, and biophysics, and embraces new fields that reflect our diverse scientific pursuits. We will advance fundamental scientific and biomedical knowledge, train the next generation of scientists, and build a strong community invested in the success of every member of our department.
