Evelyn F. McKnight Brain Institute

Arrant Lab

The Arrant Lab's goal is to investigate the cellular mechanisms underlying functional deficits in dementia and aging. We seek to integrate data from cellular and animal models with data from patients to gain insight into mechanisms of disease and discover new therapeutic targets.

Day Lab

The Day Lab's goal is to understand how experience alters the brain, and how those changes drive future behaviors. We approach this broad topic at diverse levels of analysis that integrate molecular, genetic, and epigenetic tools with techniques that probe the function of single neurons and entire neuronal circuits.

Lubin Lab

The Lubin Lab's research is focused on understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying transcriptional regulation of genes in the nervous system to mediate cognition and how these mechanisms are altered with aging and cognitive disorders including epilepsy and Alzheimer's disease.

Roberson Lab

The Roberson Lab's mission is to understand the neurobiology of age-related conditions affecting cognition, including Alzheimer's disease, frontotemporal dementia, and cognitive aging, and to contribute to developing new treatments for these conditions.
