Elucidating the Developmental Underpinnings for 
Social Behaviors

Our research

  • Our group's goal is to understand the neuronal underpinnings by which social information is being processed and innate social behaviors established during infancy and adolescence. 

  • We are also interested in determining how the cellular and circuit mechanisms for social behaviors are disrupted during environmental stressors and in neurodevelopmental disorders.

Team-Driven
Science

We foster an environment
based on mutual respect where diverse ideas are shared 

State-of-the-art
Tools

We use chemogenetics and optogenetics for cellular and circuit manipulations, record in vivo neuronal activity in bulk and in single-cells via fiber photometry, amongst others  

Data Dissemination

We encourage presenting projects within our Institute, at local, national, and international conferences and at other academic Institutions
