Associate Director of the Program in Neuroscience

Professor of Neurology

The goal of our laboratory is to understand the mechanisms that underlie synaptic plasticity in the developing and mature mammalian central nervous system. We use a combination of tools, including electrophysiological, in vitro and in vivo optical imaging...

Dong Feng Chen

dongfeng_chen@meei.harvard.edu

Associate Professor of Opthalmology

Dr. Chen is a neurobiologist focused on the studying of underlying causes of neurodegeneration and the development of neural enhancement and regenerative therapies for treating degenerative diseases of the eye and brain and reversing blindness. Using...

Associate Professor of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery

Hearing loss is the most common sensory deficits affeting humans without medical treatment. The research of my laboratory can be divided into following parts: a) understanding the causes of hearing loss; b) development of genome editing as treatment for...

Hong Chen

Hong.Chen@childrens.harvard.edu

Associate Professor of Surgery

Dr. Chen's group has developed a number of novel conditional mouse strains that have aided in their detailed characterization and elucidation of the molecular mechanisms of epsin-dependent dysfunctions in heart disease, diabetes, obesity and cancer, using...

Jeffrey Cheng

Assistant Professor of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery

Dr. Jeffrey Tao Cheng’s primary research interests are in the area of structure and function relations of normal and pathological ears, as well as damage of the ear and how to repair it for hearing restoration. Dr. Cheng’s laboratory uses newly developed...

Associate Professor of Pediatrics

Work in my laboratory is directed at understanding the innate immune response to bacterial enteropathogens. Our focus is on Salmonella Typhimurium and Salmonella Typhi, which cause acute gastroenteritis and typhoid fever, respectively. We use bacterial...

Roberto Chiarle

Professor of Pathology

My laboratory is interested in mechanisms and therapy of cancers. In the past years, I have been working on different types of hematologic and solid cancers. Most lymphomas, but also an increasing number of solid tumors, are characterized by defined...

Isaac Chiu

isaac_chiu@hms.harvard.edu

Associate Professor of Microbiology and Immunobiology

Our goal is to understand the role of neural-immune interactions in pain, host defense, and immunity. It is increasingly clear that microbes and immune cells release mediators that impact the health and function of the nervous system. Neurons also release...

Choi-Fong Cho

ccho@bwh.harvard.edu

Assistant Professor of Neurosurgery

A major roadblock that contributes to the lack of success in brain cancer therapeutics is that most commonly used anti-cancer drugs are not able to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB), the brain’s blood vessel system which protects the brain from foreign...

James Jeiwen Chou

chou@crystal.harvard.edu

Professor of Biological Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology

Our research focuses on the molecular mechanism of membrane channels, receptors, and transporters. We have been using solution NMR spectroscopy to study these proteins, while pushing the technological envelope to enable NMR characterization of the...

Edward Chouchani

Associate Professor of Cell Biology

Our research focuses on deciphering the molecular mechanisms of metabolic disease and dysfunction, and using this information to develop targeted therapeutic strategies. Dysfunction in a particular cellular locale – the mitochondrion – is implicated most...
