The project is to develop a novel mouse genetic model for studying the connections of an important inhibitory neuron in the brain, and the effects of cannabinoids (marijuana) derivatives on the connections using brain slice cultures. The student will work … Read more

The Physical Mathematics Lab (PML) (Intro Video) offers a wide range of interdisciplinary problems that find motivation in very diverse fields, including soft matter, fluid mechanics, biophysics and quantum mechanics. One of PML’s themes is the study of new Hydrodynamic … Read more

The Pegard LAB (Applied Physical Sciences) is recruiting an undergraduate student to build an initial prototype for a portable biometric monitor. The student’s primary responsibility will be adapting our circuit design into a compact PCB board. Thus, candidates with a … Read more

We are seeking a highly motivated undergraduate interested in understanding neurodevelopmental conditions, like autism spectrum disorder. We take light sheet fluorescence microscopy images of mouse brains that recapitulate the clinical macrocephaly phenotype found in patients with the Chd8 heterozygous mutation. … Read more

The ReGaiN (Rehabilitation of Gait and Neurorehabilitation) is looking for a few research assistants to assist with biomechanics data processing (Vicon motion capture, C-Motion Visual3D, NI Labview, MATLAB& Simulink) and the potential to assist with live data collections. We are … Read more

We study how the NuRD complex contributes to the silencing of fetal hemoglobin. My lab uses a combination of structural biology, biophysics, and tissue culture assays to understand how proteins bind to one another and to DNA. Our goal is … Read more

Motivated undergraduate students are invited to join our Lab, the Neurocognition and Imaging Research Laboratory (NIRL) to conduct electrophysiological data acquisition for research projects. Our research examines the neurobiological underpinnings of adolescent-onset neuropsychiatric disorders using electrophysiological recordings. The student will … Read more

Our team is seeking motivated and driven undergraduate researchers with an interest in public health and water quality. Antibiotic resistant bacteria can proliferate in surface water environments such as lakes, rivers, and estuaries, and poses one of the biggest public … Read more

Motivated undergraduate students are invited to join our Lab, the Neurocognition and Imaging Research Laboratory (NIRL) to learn functional and structural brain imaging and electrophysiological data acquisition methods. Our research examines the neurobiological underpinnings of adolescent-onset neuropsychiatric disorders, using magnetic … Read more

Research in the Lai Lab is at the interface of mucus, immunology, nanotechnology, biomaterials, biophysics, bioengineering and modeling. We are currently working in three primary areas: (1) engineering antibodies for improved protection against pathogens and sperm at mucosal surfaces; (2) … Read more
