The Horvitz Lab

The Horvitz Lab, led by Dr. Harold Horvitz, focuses on understanding how nerve cells communicate and regulate biological processes. Their research explores the mechanisms behind cell signaling, neural connections, and how these systems influence health and disease. Using advanced techniques, they aim to uncover the fundamental principles of nervous system function, which can lead to better treatments for neurological disorders and insights into brain behavior. The lab blends biology, neuroscience, and technology to advance knowledge of how complex cellular networks operate within living organisms.
