I.C. Learning & Memory
Felix Schweizer
Felix Schweizer's laboratory is interested in the molecular mechanisms by which neurons communicate, the regulation of communication by neurons, and how alterations in neuronal communication might contribute to neuronal diseases. In particular, his laboratory focuses on the molecular mechanisms of neurotransmitter release, its diversity between different secretory systems, and its regulation by activity and by intra- and intercellular signaling events.
