  Professor of Neurobiology, of Bioengineering and, by courtesy, of Chemical and Systems Biology
  

  Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy interests are in novel technologies to investigate in vivo biology and improve molecular medicines. These include the use of viral proteases and protease inhibitors to control protein function in vivo, the invention of cofactor-independent photoswitchable proteins for investigating signaling dynamics and controlling gene editing in vivo, the development of fully genetically encoded voltage indicators, and a new approach of treating cancer by rewiring oncogenic pathways to cell ablation.

  Ann and Bill Swindells Professor and Professor, by courtesy, of Neurobiology
  

  Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe study how neurons are organized into specialized circuits to perform specific functions and how these circuits are assembled during development. We have developed molecular-genetic and viral tools, and are combining them with transcriptomic, proteomic, physiological, and behavioral approaches to study these problems. Topics include: 1) assembly of the fly olfactory circuit; 2) assembly of neural circuits in the mouse brain; 3) organization and function of neural circuits; 4) Tool development.
