Dept. of Neurology
Dr. Michelle Chen is a neuropsychologist, with a PhD in Clinical Psychology (with neuropsychology concentration and health emphasis) from Yeshiva University and postdoctoral training at Kessler Foundation. Her research involves the study of neurodegeneration and brain-behavior relationships in neurologic populations, such as older adults with cognitive impairment and persons with multiple sclerosis (MS). She has an interest in utilizing digital and sensor technology in the assessment and treatment of cognitive dysfunction.

Chiara Manzini
- Information
Dept. of Neuroscience and Cell Biology
The main goal of Dr. Manzini’s research is to bridge the genetics and mechanisms of disease to identify genes that are essential for human cognition and to define the molecular mechanisms underlying neurodevelopmental disorders focusing on autism and neuromuscular disorders. The Manzini lab combines human genetics with molecular, cellular, and behavioral approaches in murine and zebrafish models to link human genetics to neuronal cell biology, intracellular signaling, and behavior. Her recent work aims to identify molecular mechanisms that could underlie sex bias in autism and to develop novel precision medicine approaches for congenital neuromuscular disease.

Conor McClenaghan
- Information
Dept. of Pharmacology & Medicine
Dr. McClenaghan is interested in how ion channels work, what happens when they break, and how can we fix them? Ion channels are proteins, found in cell membranes, which open and close to allow the movement of charged atoms (ions) into and out of cells. This movement of ions underlies the electrical currents critical for a vast range of biological processes. Your heartbeat, muscles, brain, and the regular function of all your other cells, rely on the precise activities of these ion channels.
