Expert Bio
Professor Srinivasan's research at WPI is highly inter-disciplinary and encompasses areas such as neurobiology, molecular genetics and chemical biology. His lab is currently focusing on interpreting olfactory dysfunction in neurological disorders, we aim to understand how olfaction is coded in the brain using the nematode, Caenorhabditis elegans. More specifically, they seek to understand how neurons interpret social signals, both individually and as members of circuits, producing specific behaviors in C. elegans.
