Neurophysiology & Behaviour
Professor Leslie Buck

Leslie T. Buck

Professor

We use a comparative neurobiological/physiological/molecular approach to understand how animals survive environmental extremes, in particular how painted turtles and goldfish survive without oxygen for weeks. 
Campus: St. George (downtown)

Professor John Calarco

John Calarco

Associate Professor
☀ Accepting Applications
We study how mRNA processing and post-transcriptional gene regulation influences the development, differentiation, and function of the nervous system. 
Campus: St. George (downtown)

Belinda S.W. Chang

Professor
☀ Accepting Applications
Recreating the evolution of visual proteins in the laboratory; next generation sequencing and computational studies of visual proteins from animals in unusual habitats; mutagenesis studies of visual pigment structure/function. 
Campus: St. George (downtown)

Qian Lin

Assistant Professor
☀ Accepting Applications
How does the brain produce adaptive, flexible behavior? We want to understand the neural mechanisms of decision making by combining whole-brain imaging in behaving zebrafish and computational tools. 
Campus: St. George (downtown)

Professor John Peever

John H. Peever

Professor

Our research is focused on identifying the brain circuits that control sleep and wakefulness, and how breakdown in these circuits contribute to disorders such as Parkinson’s disease and narcolepsy. 
Campus: St. George (downtown)

Professor Jessica Pressey

Jessica Pressey

Assistant Professor, Teaching Stream

Cellular mechanisms underlying inhibitory GABAergic synaptic plasticity in the central nervous system 
Campus: St. George (downtown)

Maxwell Shafer

Assistant Professor
☀ Accepting Applications
Decoding the genomic and cellular mechanisms of sleep evolution using comparative approaches across vertebrate species, including functional genomics, bioinformatics, cell & molecular biology, neurobiology, and evolution.  
Campus: St. George (downtown)

Vincent Tropepe

Professor and Vice Dean, Research
☀ Accepting Applications
We study the molecular and cellular basis of neurogenesis in the brain and retina during development and in the context of regeneration. 
Campus: St. George (downtown)

Melanie A. Woodin

Professor & Dean

Understanding the functioning of inhibitory synapses, both at the cellular level and within neuronal circuits. 
Campus: St. George (downtown)
