Ehud Isacoff is the Director of the Helen Wills Neuroscience Institute and the 1933 Chair and Professor of Neurobiology. Using optical spectroscopy, imaging, and electrophysiology, work in the Isacoff lab focuses on four intersecting topics: 1) mechanisms of ion channel function, 2) synapse development and plasticity, 3) neural circuit function, and d) design of novel probes for the optical detection and manipulation of neuronal signaling.
