At the Rajan Lab, lead by Dr. Kanaka Rajan at Harvard, scientists integrate neuroscience and artificial intelligence through mathematically grounded, data-driven models to reverse-engineer brain function. By constructing computational systems that mirror realistic behaviors using only biologically plausible mechanisms, the lab seeks to uncover fundamental principles of natural intelligence and make precise, testable predictions about brain dynamics.

The Estrogen Program Project Grant (PPG) is dedicated to understanding the molecular mechanisms by which estrogen regulates cellular function through protein phosphorylation. Leveraging advanced biochemical and structural biology techniques, the group investigates signaling networks that underlie hormone-driven physiology and pathology. Their work aims to elucidate fundamental estrogen-mediated processes with broad implications for reproductive health and disease prevention.

The Roy Lab, led by Dr. Dheeraj Roy at the University at Buffalo, aims to decipher the molecular, cellular, and circuit mechanisms that govern higher-order cognitive processes, such as attention, working memory, and long-term memory encoding and retrieval. Focusing on the mammalian thalamus—a central hub for sensory integration and cortical regulation—the lab combines in vivo systems neuroscience techniques, computational modeling, and human organoid studies to probe both basic function and disease-related alterations￼. Emphasizing collaborative, team-oriented science, it fosters an inclusive environment for a diverse range of trainees.

The Sarvestani Lab, led by Dr. Madineh Sedigh-Sarvestani, employs a systems neuroscience approach to understand how the brain’s visual circuits are shaped by species-specific behaviors and embodied interactions with the environment. Grounded in the principles of embodied cognition, the lab designs experiments that integrate sensory processing, body movement, and behavior, using species such as tree shrews and rats to uncover how visuomotor circuits are optimized across different anatomical and ecological contexts. Beyond its scientific goals, the Sarvestani Lab is committed to mentorship and diversity—Dr. Sedigh-Sarvestani is an HHMI Freeman Hrabowski Scholar, and the group fosters inclusive training environments for early-career scientists.

The Laboratory of Translational Psychiatry, encompassing both the Bale and Thompson labs, is committed to uncovering the biological foundations of neuropsychiatric disorders and translating that knowledge into improved prevention, diagnosis, and treatment strategies. The Bale Lab explores how early-life and lifelong exposure to stress affects brain development across the lifespan, identifying key mechanisms using preclinical models  ￼. Simultaneously, the Thompson Lab investigates the functional changes in the brain that drive symptoms of conditions like depression, testing novel therapeutics and biomarkers in animal models.
