DEVELOPMENTAL NEUROSCIENCE : Nervous System Development, Regeneration and Repair:  A major goal of neuroscience is to regenerate and repair neural systems disabled by diseases that have a genetic origin.  Solving this problem requires a deep understanding of genetic control of neural development and the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the generation of diverse cell types and their circuitry.  Faculty in our department utilize molecular and genetic approaches, as well as state-of-the-art imaging techniques, to elucidate the mechanisms that shape the development of the visual and auditory system.
