Research Description

I am currently accepting PhD students.

I am interested in understanding the molecular and neural basis of behavior. Using zebrafish, we integrate careful behavioral analysis, molecular manipulations, and whole-brain activity mapping to generate a deep understanding of behavior that spans mulitple levels of analysis.
