  • John B. Pierce Laboratory Research Initiatives

    JOHN B. PIERCE LABORATORY, FOUNDED IN 1933, AFFORDS A UNIQUE ENVIRONMENT FOR INTERACTION AND COLLABORATION AMONG SCIENTISTS WITHIN THE LABORATORY AND IN THE SURROUNDING YALE COMMUNITY. COLLABORATIONS THAT REACH ACROSS SUCH WIDE-RANGING FIELDS AS REGULATORY PHYSIOLOGY, SENSORY AND BEHAVIORAL NEUROSCIENCE, BRAIN IMAGING, MOLECULAR BIOLOGY AND GENETICS PLACE PIERCE LABORATORY SCIENTISTS IN A UNIQUE POSITION TO MAKE BREAKTHROUGHS IN BASIC RESEARCH THAT CAN BE TRANSLATED INTO IMPROVEMENTS IN HUMAN HEALTH AND WELL-BEING. WE CURRENTLY HAVE EIGHT GRANTS ONGOING INCLUDING: THE STUDY OF TOBACCO PRODUCT USE AND ADDICTION THROUGH FLAVORS, NICOTINE AND OTHER CONSTITUENTS; BIOLUMINESCENCE INTERFACE FOR AN ALL-OPTICAL NEUROPROSTHESIS TO THE VISUAL CORTEX; CARDIOMETABOLIC EFFECTS OF GENDER AFFIRMING HORMONE THERAPY; THE STUDY OF MECHANISMS OF HYPERTENSION IN WOMEN WITH POLYCYSTIC OVARY SYNDROME; MECHANISMS AND INTERVENTIONS ADDRESSING ACCELERATED CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE RISK IN WOMEN WITH ENDOMETRIOSIS; MAGNETIC, OPTICAL AND ACCOUSTIC NEURAL ACCESS DEVICE; THE PRINCIPLES OF OLFACTORY-GUIDED NATURAL BEHAVIOR; EFFICIENT TWO-PHOTON VOLTAGE IMAGING OF NEURONAL POPULATIONS AT BEHAVIORAL TIMESCALES.
