Molecular Neuroscience

Using molecular techniques and animal models to analyze genetic and epigenetic processes affecting learning and behavior.

Research Programs:

Glutamate receptors and RNA editing in Alzheimer's disease (in collaboration with Dr. Anat Biegon, Sagol Center for Neuroscience)

Lentivirus-mediated gene silencing in vitro: the effect of decreased expression of RNA editing enzymes on glutamate neurotransmission and neuronal cell proliferation

Lentivirus-mediated gene silencing in vivo: the effect of decreased expression of RNA editing enzymes 0n rodent behavior.

Group Leader: Inna Gaisler-Salomon, PhD
