We are a young vibrant lab looking for undergraduate students to join Dr. Brian Gills research team. Our lab's interest is in brain tumor-neuron interactions and how they contribute to tumor associated epilepsy and tumor progression. We are investigating if mTORC inhibition can reduce tumor associated seizures and reduce neuron-driven tumor progression. We use a variety of novel techniques to investigate these goals including ex vivo patch clamp recordings of mouse glioma models; ex vivo human tissue microelectrode recordings; and in vivo calcium imaging of peritumoral excitatory neurons in mouse glioma models. Projects are available for students interested in computational analysis.
