Chair
Scott Heximer PhD
Research Interests
Mechanisms of heterotrimeric G protein signaling, defining the roles of G proteins and their regulators in the cardiovascular system.
Professor
Sean Hill PhD
Research Interests
Dr. Hill has developed numerous large-scale models of cortical and corticothalamic systems during wakefulness, sleep and anesthetic conditions. His work has contributed to our understanding of the mechanisms generating up and down states during the slow oscillation of sleep as well as plasticity and sensory responses during sleep.
Professor
