Our research investigates the biomechanical and biophysical mechanisms underlying auditory transduction, with particular emphasis on establishing correlations between anatomy and
The brain plays a central role in maintaining metabolic homeostasis and regulating aging, and dysfunction in these processes contributes to
The Johansen Lab investigates the brain circuit and neural coding mechanisms that transform aversive experiences into both simple and complex
Epilepsy is more than just seizures.Children and adults with epilepsy often experience problems with intellectual development, learning, memory, and attention
We study the gene networks driving neuronal diversity during brainstem development to uncover why only specific subsets are differentially affected
Research Interests: Sensory Neurobiology, Photoreceptor physiology, Visual cycle and dark adaptation, Photoreceptor degeneration, Gene-independent therapy for visual disorders We are
Gene augmentation therapy for correcting mutations in the RPE65 gene is the first FDA-approved gene therapy for any genetically inherited disease. There
Research objectives are to understand the mechanisms mediating addictive disorders. Special interest is on how gut, genes, brain, and behavior
Our research group is dedicated to understand the molecular basis of human diseases using structural biology, which allows us to
