Research Summary: Dynamics in Neural Systems We are interested in understanding the molecular, cellular, and circuit mechanisms that give rise to the rich neural dynamics observed in the brain. Neural dynamics, the ongoing time‐varying activity patterns in populations of neurons, are critical for a wide range of motor and cognitive behaviors. To understand neural dynamics, we work at the interface…
Research Summary: Dr. Sean Holroyd joined Weill Cornell Medicine – Qatar (WCM-Q) in January of 2017. Prior to coming to WCM-Q he served as a Lecturer of Physiology at James Cook University, where he was course director for physiology for 2nd Year biomedical science students and Year 2 coordinator for Veterinary Science. Dr. Holroyd has extensive teaching experience having taught organ…
Research Summary: Mast cells play an important role in inflammation and fibrosis. Mast cells, non-circulating cells residing in all organs from birth, exhibit great plasticity and the cellular microenvironment profoundly influences mast cell phenotype. Our lab is focused on understanding the contributions of mast cells to a variety of diseases including bronchopulmonary dysplasia, lung and kidney fibrosis and abnormal wound…
