PIERCE LAB

Est. 2008 at The University of Texas at Austin






Our lab studies the genetic mechanisms that govern behaviors and contribute to neurological disorders.






We approach this complex subject by studying how conserved genes contribute to behaviors in the simple but powerful model nematode, Caenorhabditis elegans.
