Molecular Ballet: Decoding Biochemical Signaling Dynamics in the Brain
Yao Chen, PhD
Assistant Professor of Neuroscience
Washington University School of Medicine
The Chen Lab focuses on uncovering principles of neuromodulator actions and mechanisms of sleep functions by illuminating the nature and functions of biochemical signaling dynamics. It aims to bridge cellular and systems neuroscience by both taking a systems biology approach to study cellular signals and studying cellular signals in the intact system in vivo.
