PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR
Jeffrey Moore, PhD
Assistant Professor of Neurobiology, University of Southern California
Dr. Moore received a B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering and Brain & Cognitive Sciences from MIT. He received his Ph.D. in Neurosciences from UC San Diego, where he investigated neuronal oscillator dynamics and the hierarchical organization of motor circuits. As a postdoctoral scholar in the Dept. of Molecular & Cell Biology at Harvard University, he collaborated with researchers at the Salk Institute to pioneer investigations into suckling behavior in newborns. Throughout his career he has developed new tools and strategies for dissecting neural circuits.
