Carla Shatz
Sapp Family Provostial Professor and Professor of Biology and of Neurobiology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe goal of research in the Shatz Laboratory is to discover how brain circuits are tuned up by experience during critical periods of development both before and after birth by elucidating cellular and molecular mechanisms that transform early fetal and neonatal brain circuits into mature connections. To discover mechanistic underpinnings of circuit tuning, the lab has conducted functional screens for genes regulated by neural activity and studied their function for vision, learning and memory.

Vincent V.C. Woo Director, Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute, Frank Lee and Carol Hall Professor and Professor of Biology and of Pathology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe connectivity of a neuron (its unique constellation of synaptic inputs and outputs) is essential for its function. Neuronal connections are made with exquisite accuracy between specific types of neurons. How each neuron finds its synaptic partners has been a central question in developmental neurobiology. We utilize the relatively simple nervous system of nematode C. elegans, to search for molecules that can specify synaptic connections and understand the molecular mechanisms of synaptic as

Talya Shragai
Staff, Biology
Special Initiatives Manager, Disease Ecology In A Changing World, ContingentBioTalya is the Research and Program Manager for the Disease Ecology in a Changing World program where she works on projects that improve both human health and the health of the environment.
She earned her PhD in Medical Entomology at Cornell University, studying how mosquitos adapt and behave in novel environments in Colombia, Puerto Rico, and New York. Following her PhD, Talya worked at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the Global Emergency Public Health and Global Immunization programs. Her work at the CDC combined capacity building, operational research, and collaborating with Ministries of Health across Africa, Latin America, and Asia to improve outbreak response and vaccine coverage around the world.
Talya is passionate about research that provides innovative, practical solutions to improve health. -
