  • The De Nooij lab studies proprioception, the sensory system that informs the central nervous system about the position of the body and limbs in space and provides feedback control during movement.

  • The Gelinas Lab studies neural networks that mediate the cognitive functions in children and adults with epilepsy—and how these networks are disrupted by epileptic activity

  • GiusTo Lab conducts genetic epidemiology research focusing on Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementia in admixed populations.

  • Research in the Harms Lab is focused on harnessing emerging genetic technologies to understand the causes of inherited neuromuscular diseases, with an emphasis on motor neuron disorders

  • The Noble Lifecourse Program -- an epidemiologically focused research initiative

  • The Kuo lab studies the role of the cerebellum in neurological disorders, with a particular focus on ataxia and tremor

  • The Laboratory for Genetic Epidemiology at Columbia University has been studying Alzheimer's disease (AD) across different ethnic populations for nearly 20 years.

  • The Makinson lab takes a multi-modal approach to understand the complex relationships between early developmental genetic impairments and evolving disease phenotypes.

  • The Miller lab's research focuses on cerebrovascular complications associated with pregnancy & the postpartum period, and women's cerebrovascular health throughout their lifespan.

  • Our lab provides the framework and pipeline to enable clinicians, scientists, and administrators to maximize use of monitoring device data of the heart, lungs, and brain for predictive analytics

  • The goal of our research is to understand the circuit, cellular, and molecular mechanisms underlying sleep regulation in both normal and diseased brains.

  • The Picard Lab seeks to explain how psychological states influence biological and energetic processes within mitochondria, and in turn how mitochondria influence mental and physiological functions

  • The Przedborski Lab seeks to unravel the molecular basis of neurodegeneration and devise therapeutic strategies to hamper the processes that cause neuronal death

  • We specialize in the diagnosis & treatment of Parkinson’s disease and related conditions, tremors, dystonia, including musician’s dystonia, and muscle spasms such as from cerebral palsy or stroke

  • Lab for Tristan T. Sands, M.D., Ph.D, Assistant Professor (Neurology)

  • The Schon Lab studies the molecular basis of mitochondrial disorders using cytoplasmic hybrids, or "cybrids"

  • Stern lab explores cognitive changes throughout aging and their neural basis, with a strong focus on state-of-the-art cognitive approaches and multi-modal imaging.
