Welcome to the Lester Lab at Caltech
|
This cartoon represents a mouse with designed mutations in molecules of synaptic transmission. You can find our publications and preliminary work on each molecule, and on the mice themselves, by clicking on them.
For prospective postdocs and graduate students Our projects range from the biophysics of Cys-loop receptors and transporters, through mouse models for neuroscience diseases. The lab would be a good experience for -- a molecular biologist looking to gain experience in electrophysiology or optics; -- a physicist or engineer hoping to contribute to the exciting biomedical problems of nicotine addiction, epilepsy, or Parkinson's disease; -- a clinician wanting to learn basic neuroscience; or -- an electrophysiologist hoping to learn mouse genetics. |
