Research supervisor:
Pavel Balaban
PhD, DSc, Corr. member of RAS
Supervisor’s research interests:
Neurobiological investigation of learning and memory with the aim to understand molecular mechanisms of epigenetic regulation of neuronal functioning. Synaptic plasticity mechanisms, optogenetics, thermogenetics and chemogenetics as innovative instruments for neurobiological research. Maintenance and modification of the long-term memory, invertebrate models for neurophysiological research.
Research highlights:
Unique complex of behavioral, electrophysiological and molecular biological approaches in one lab. Biological subjects from cultured cells, invertebrate animals, mammals. Optical recording of electrical and molecular events in one cell or in a network, including in vivo optical recording of 30-40 neurons in free behaving animals.
Supervisor’s specific requirements:
