Schaffer Lab
for Neural
Computation

We use mathematical principles and computational tools to better understand how the brain works and the processes that lead to disease. Our research centers on fundamentally biological questions that require mathematical thinking.

Science is better with a diverse team.

We embrace and encourage our lab members’ differences in race, ethnicity, disability, age, family or marital status, gender identity or expression, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, and other characteristics that make our lab members who they are. We strive to make the lab a safe, warm, open and welcoming place to work.
