 Chair's Welcome
Welcome! We aim to be one of the best integrative biology departments in the country. Our faculty, students, and postdoctoral scholars are engaged in research and teaching at the crest of modern biology using a diversity of organisms and modern approaches to gain the widest possible perspectives on biological organization and function. Evolution provides a unifying theme for the department, with research foci in biophysics, sensory neuroscience, developmental biology, evolutionary genetics, behavioral ecology, conservation biology.

Generally, I want to understand how the output of a neural circuit reflects the behaviors of the individual synapses and neurons that compose it. The mammalian retina is a model circuit well suited to the study of this issue: it is well- characterized anatomically and physiologically, but the nature of synaptic transmission between its component neurons is understood poorly.
