Boston, United States Tufts University Full time

Overview

The Department of Neuroscience is a basic research department focusing on synaptic and glia biology. The Rios lab investigates neural circuits regulating feeding, body weight and glucose homeostasis and how they remodel to accommodate the energy demands of the animal. We address these questions employing mouse models and multidisciplinary approaches, including electrophysiology, advanced molecular and imaging techniques and comprehensive metabolic analysis. These studies seek to inform mechanisms leading to metabolic dysfunction, including obesity and diabetes.
