Michael Webster

Michael Webster, Foundation Professor, Principal Investigator Center for Integrative Neuroscience, Nevada Summary Michael Webster is a vision scientist who studies the cognitive and neural processes that underlie how we see. Much of his work focuses on characterizing how our perception adapts when the environment changes (e.g we move to a drier climate) or we change […]

Jonathan Baker

Jonathan Baker Ph.D. Associate Professor; INBRE Principal Investigator/Director; Interim Chair, Department of Pharmacology, Nevada Research We use single molecule techniques (TIR fluorescence microscopy and optical traps) to study how mechanoenzymes like actin and myosin transfer chemical free energy to mechanical work and inversely how they convert mechanical signals into chemical responses. We are particularly interested […]

Qian-Quan Sun

Qian-Quan Sun, Ph.D. Assistant Professor in the Department of Zoology and Physiology; Principal Investigator of Wyoming Sensory Biology Core, Wyoming. Research Interests Neuroscience Neurophysiology Information processing in the brain depends on inter-connected neuronal networks. The connections of neuronal networks are fine-tuned during critical periods of brain development and maladaptively reorganized in neurological diseases. We want […]
