Ma, Yongchao
Associate Professor of Pediatrics and Neurology
Description of Interests
Genetic, neurometabolic and mitochondrial regulation of neural development and degeneration RNA methylation on N6-adenosine is emerging as a critical regulator of RNA functions and metabolism. We rece... [more]
Maccaferri, Gianmaria
Professor of Neuroscience
Description of Interests
My interest is focused on the hippocampus, which is an area of the brain involved in higher cognitive functions, and is often the target of neurological illnesses like epilepsy, schizophrenia and Alzh... [more]
Martina, Marco
Professor of Neuroscience
Description of Interests
The lab has three main interests: currently, the main interest of the lab is the identification of the cortical cellular mechanisms (and potential drug targets) that drive the transition from acute to... [more]
Martinelli, Elena
Professor of Medicine - Infectious Disease
Description of Interests
One focus of the research in the lab is the impact of HIV in the CNS, including HIV persistance mechanisms and consequences (such as HIV-related neurocognitive dysfunction)
Mazzulli, Joe
Dimitri Krainc Professor of Neurology
Description of Interests
The Mazzulli Lab is interested in determining how protein misfolding and aggregation results in cell death in Parkinson's disease, Dementia with Lewy bodies, and rare lysosomal storage disorders. We u... [more]
McGraw, Christopher
Assistant Professor of Neurology

Our mission is to understand the molecular mechanisms of refractory seizure disorders and to identify novel therapies using cross-species approaches including human genetics and animal models (zebrafi... [more]
McIver, Malcolm
Professor of Mechanical Engineering
Description of Interests
Professor MacIver believes that the body’s mechanical intelligence can be just as important, if not more important, than what’s going on in your head. His primary scientific efforts are in understandi... [more]
