The Cherra lab mission is to understand how neural circuits function at the cellular and molecular level and how neural circuits become dysregulated during disease. Our team uses a multidisciplinary approach that includes in vivo imaging, genetic engineering, biochemistry, and bioinformatics to uncover how neurons and non-neuronal cells modulate synaptic connectivity and animal behavior.
Join the Team!
The Cherra lab is currently accepting applications for postdoctoral, graduate student, and undergraduate positions. If you are interested in joining the team, please email Dr. Cherra at scherra@uky.edu.
