Mentor Areas
In the Campbell lab, we take a genetics-first approach, focusing on genes associated with neurodevelopmental/neuropsychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia and autism. We use high throughput behavioral and whole brain imaging approaches in the zebrafish model system to rapidly generate novel hypotheses about how and where these genes may be functioning to regulate behavior. Through this work, our ultimate goal is to improve the lives of those living with these neurodevelopmental/neuropsychiatric conditions. Techniques in the lab include CRISPR-Cas9 mutagenesis, spatiotemporal gene rescue approaches, RNA sequencing, confocal imaging, and behavioral analysis.
If you are interested in joining our team, please send an email describing when you would be interested in a position (Fall, Spring, and/or Summer), the hours you would like to commit, and your future goals. Please also attach a CV.
