Welcome New Departmental Faculty

Anna La Torre, Ph.D.In November 2014, Anna La Torre, Ph.D. joined the department. Dr. La Torre's laboratory is interested in deciphering the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying neuronal progenitor competence and differentiation using a combination of cell lines, transgenic mouse models and biochemical approaches.

Sergi Simó, Ph.D.In November 2014, Sergi Simó, Ph.D. joined the department. Dr. Simó's laboratory is interested in understanding how normal development patterns the CNS and particularly how migrating neurons integrate guidance information by regulating signaling pathways to navigate and successfully reach their final destinations during development.

Li-En Jao, Ph.D.In August 2014, Li-En Jao, Ph.D. joined the department. Dr. Jao's laboratory is interested in understanding how the centrosome and its related organelles such as the cilium coordinate signals that regulate cell function and influence development.

Blogosphere as a means of scientific communication?

Dr. Paul Knoepfler Professor Paul Knoepfler explains why he joined the ranks of the blogosphere, and why you should too.
