Research Focus:
My research is directed towards understanding the neural circuitry within the brain and determining how these circuits give rise to various behaviors. I am interested in developing tools to characterize diverse neuronal cell types, which are the principal building blocks of these circuits, at an anatomical level and determine their function within these circuits. I will use many genetic tools in my work at the Institute, including viral vectors and Cre driver mice to elucidate the specific connectivity patterns between genetically identified neuronal subtypes and functionally test these cell types using optogenetics.
