New paper in Nature Neuro! We found dopamine is severely impaired in the lateral entorhinal cortex of Alzheimer’s mice. Optogenetic stimulation of entorhinal dopamine and LEVODOPA treatment restored their memory – dopamine treatment may be a future treatment for AD patients!

We are hiring a new lab manager! Our wonderful lab manager Albert is headed off to grad school and we are looking to fill his position this summer.  This is a great opportunity for a new graduate to spend a couple years immersed in research before applying to PhD or MD programs. 50% of the job is keeping the lab running (being a lab manager), and 50% is for original research related to protein engineering, technology development, etc – there are many project possibilities!

Seeking passionate, motivated, creative, and detail-oriented majors in chemical biology, molecular biology or related subjects with at least 1 year of prior wetlab research experience. Must be a US citizen or have a valid work visa.
