Mentor Areas

One long term goal of my lab is to understand molecular and circuitry mechanisms that mediate and modulate pain and itch sensation and how these mechanisms may change in pathological conditions and lead to chronic pain and itch.  We use a combination of mouse genetics, optogenetics, physiological recordings, in vivo imaging, novel behavior assays, and primary human tissues to address these questions.

Description:

We are looking for undergraduate students, who are interested at a collaborative research project: building a 3D imaging area to study mouse behaviors.

Preferred Qualifications

Students with computer vision, bioengineering, or biology background who are highly motivated.
