- Jason Breves, Associate Professor and Department Chair of Biology h-index 29
- Corey Freeman-Gallant, Associate Dean and Professor of Biology h-index 28
- Bernard Possidente, Program Director and Professor of Biology h-index 25
Dr. Possidente's general research area is genetic analysis of behavioral mechanisms. His research focuses on the function of biological clocks in controlling circadian (daily-endogenous) rhythms using mice and fruitflies as model systems
- Sarita Lagalwar, Professor of Neuroscience h-index 19
- Christopher G. Vecsey, Professor of Neuroscience h-index 18
I have studied a wide variety of neuroscience topics, ranging from the epigenetic mechanisms involved in memory in the mouse to the neuropeptide signaling mechanisms that control sleep and wakefulness in the fruit fly. The research in my l
- Jennifer Bonner, Associate Professor of Biology
The long-term goal of my research is to determine the genes that control nervous system connectivity. I am using zebrafish as a model system to address this question, and focusing on the spinal cord due to its relative simple structure and
