Principal Investigator  |
Dayu Lin, Ph.D.
Dayu Lin received her Ph.D. degree from Department of neurobiology at Duke University in 2005, mentored by Dr. Lawrence C. Katz. She then continued her postdoctoral training at Caltech with Dr. David J. Anderson. In November 2010, she started her independent research group at NYU Langone medical center studying the neural mechanisms of social behaviors.

| Postdoctoral Fellows |
|
Annegret Falkner, Ph.D.
Annegret Falkner is a postdoctoral fellow interested in the neural origins of aggressive drive and premeditated violence. She uses a combination of electrophysiology, electromyography, and optogenetics in mouse models. She completed her PhD at Columbia University with Mickey Goldberg in 2012. |
|
Koichi Hashikawa, Ph.D.
Koichi Hashikawa received his Ph.D. in 2013 from University of Tokyo. He is interested in elucidating neuronal circuits and processes responsible for female social behaviors such as aggression and reproduction using electrophysiology and loss and gain of functional manipulations. |
|
Takashi Yamaguchi, PH.D.
Takashi Yamaguchi received his Ph. D. degree from Osaka University under the supervision of Prof. Shigetada Nakanishi in 2013. After his Ph. D. and postdoctoral training in Nakanishi's lab, he jonined Lin's lab in the spring 2015. He is interested in the neural substrates of mating and fighting circuits beyond the hypothalamus. |
