Experimental research

The Jepson lab uses the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, in concert with gene editing, electrophysiology, optical imaging, and molecular biology, to elucidate the mechanistic basis of neurological

Aims to delineate the molecular mechanisms of synchronicity and use-dependent plasticity of neurotransmitter release and how it is altered in paroxysmal movement disorders

The Kullmann Lab studies how synapses operate in health and disease, using molecular, electrophysiological, optical and computational approaches, and uses this knowledge to develop gene therapy for re

The main focus of my lab is finding novel gene therapy approaches for intractable neurological diseases, with rapid potential for translation. We start by investigating the pathophysiological mechanis

We are studying cortical inhibition in physiology and epilepsy at both cellular and network levels. We are particularly interested in cortical Layer 1 and claustro-cortical inhibition mediated by neur

Focused on understanding the biochemical mechanisms involved in regulating the release of neurotransmitters at synapses.

Contributing to the inter-disciplinary effort to address cellular mechanisms of epilepsy and other neurodegenerative diseases.

Our research aims to uncover the molecular mechanisms of SNAREopathies.

The Walker laboratory studies brain and seizure activity at multiple scales, using different modalities, in order to develop new therapeutic approaches to treat seizures and to prevent the development
