Dan Lodge, PhD

Professor

The Lodge lab is interested in better understanding the mechanisms underlying psychiatric disease with the goal of developing novel therapeutics. To do this we utilize a number of approaches including optogenetics, in vivo electrophysiology, fiber photometry, behavioral and molecular methods. Using such an approach, we have identified what we believe to be novel sites of therapeutic intervention for the treatment of psychosis associated with schizophrenia, PTSD, and Alzheimer’s Disease. We are currently investigating the utility of cell based, surgical, and pharmacological approaches to treat these disorders using rodent models.
