Welcome!Our group focuses on the neurobiology of the Naked Mole-Rat. My lab has identified several profound adaptations in both the peripheral and central nervous systems in a new model system, the African naked mole-rat. We use a systems neurobiological approach involving behavioral, electrophysiological, anatomical, and molecular techniques with an emphasis on moving freely between experiments that focus on neural mechanisms and those that focus on natural behaviors. These projects also rely heavily on a comparative approach.
