Melody Huang Lab

We have been conducting translational research using zebrafish and human models in the field of clinical neuroscience. Being interested in the eyes and the brain, we focus on research questions with both physiological and behavioral aspects. We look at different sensory-motor systems and their interaction in diseased and healthy subjects. Besides studying ocular motor disorders, we are developing novel learning paradigms in zebrafish, aiming to study cognitive functioning and eventually screen for potential pharmacological treatment for the restoration of memory in patients with either brain injury-induced or age-related degeneration.
