Unveiling the neuronal mechanisms of behaviors in Caenorhabditis elegans
The Young Lab studies the neurons and genes that mediate C. elegans behaviors.
We are particularly interested in the mechanisms underlying aversive behaviors in response to electricity and cliffs.
Zap Project
Precipice Project
A major focus of the Young Lab is to provide undergraduate students with robust research experiences.
- To have opportunities to take leadership roles in research groups.
- To engage in experimental design, execution, and data analysis.
- To use published evidence to inform plans and hypotheses.
- To be meticulous in work and record keeping.
