Dr. Curtis studies the bidirectional relationship between cognition and sleep in healthy and cognitively impaired aging populations. She is specifically interested in the impact of cognitive interventions on behavioral, physiological and neural outcomes. To learn more about Dr. Curtis’s lab, click here.
Read MoreDr. Koh’s major research interests are in understanding cellular and molecular mechanisms of how the glia, the non-neuronal cell type in the central nervous system, regulates neuronal activity.
Read MoreDr. Kazic is working on methods to infer the structure of complex networks using the disease lesion mimic mutants of maize as a model system. Her work has also included the development of an architecture for community query, deposit, review and curation of information on biochemical reactions, and the analysis of extant reaction networks.
Read MoreDr. Ferguson is currently studying the association between immune, endocrine, and psychophysiological markers of stress and gastrointestinal disorders in those with autism spectrum disorder. He is also leading the psychophysiological biomarker assessment for predictors of response to medications, and also the relationship to aberrant behaviors.
