Bernhardt Lab, 4 Blackfan Cir, Boston, MA 02115, US

The Schwarz Lab at Boston Children's Hospital's F.M. Kirby Neurobiology Center is dedicated to studying the cell biology of neurons to uncover how nerve cells function, acquire their shape, and form connections. By investigating processes such as axonal transport, synapse development, and protein trafficking, the lab aims to gain insights into neurological disorders like Parkinson's Disease and optic nerve atrophy. Utilizing a multidisciplinary approach that combines genetics, biochemistry, electrophysiology, cell biology, and imaging, the Schwarz Lab conducts research across various model organisms and cell types to address fundamental questions in neurobiology and explore translational implications for neurodegenerative diseases. With a focus on understanding how cellular components influence the architecture and circuitry of the brain, the lab's work contributes to advancing knowledge in the field of neuroscience.
