Michael Rosbash biology lab

Led by professor Michael Rosbash, a Howard Hughes Medical Investigator, this biology lab seeks to understand sleep disorders by studying fruit flies, whose daily sleep cycle is regulated by the same circadian clock that controls human sleep. The lab is part of the National Center for Behavioral Genomics, which studies how genes and their expression interact with neuronal network function to produce complex behaviors. At Brandeis, both undergraduate and graduate students work closely with renowned faculty on research projects.
