Origins Of Resilience
Investigating the neurocircuitry of stress resilience through a multi-species, multi-scale approach.
Developmental
Uncovering the science of resilience
through a robust bottom-up basic science mechanistic approach.
What we’re about
Entering into the world of the DOOR lab
History has focused on when things go wrong.
We focus on when things go right.
We focus on when things go right.
Disease Prevention
Harnessing resilience circuity for health promotion
Multi-Scale
From single neuron to whole-brain circuits
Multi-Species
Study lab mice, lab rats, wild rats and humans
Multi-Circuit
When no method exists, we develop one.
Our mission
Understanding resilience circuitry as a novel disease-prevention strategy
Our main mission is to uncover the mechanisms of resilience – across species and across the lifespan – using a comprehensive set of experimental tools and designs.
Over the past century, science has generated abundant tools to treat disease; despite the enormous potential for global impact, much less research has been devoted to preventing it.
