About the lab

The complex changes needed to adapt normal cognitive functions to altered internal and external conditions are achieved mostly via gene regulation, through highly regulated transcriptional and post-transcriptional events. Research in the Kaufer lab focuses on the molecular events that underlie the plasticity of the brain in face of stress and neurological insults, bridging the gap between the gross physiological effects, and the molecular and cellular events that underlie them.

The tools we apply for this research include molecular, cellular and imaging techniques, and through collaborations with other labs we extend these tools to include also behavioral, electrophysiological and high-throughput methods.
