Research Projects
To succeed in reaching the BIG goals of the Chambers Lab there are a number of projects well under way.
- 1) To understand, in never-before-available detail, how memories form in the mammalian brain.
- How can we figure out the molecular mechanisms of memory if we can’t even see those involved? Current technology is like watching a soccer match through a pair of foggy glasses. We are going to improve this by offering crystal-clear vision of the players.
- 2) To enhance memory formation through new pharmaceuticals.
- Ever wondered if you might someday be able to take a pill that would help you remember? Well, we are working on this….no promises yet, but enhancing memory is certainly a worth goal – for both those afflicted with disorders that impair memory as well as those who could simply use some help.
- 3) To understand more about and prevent epilepsy.
- 4) To prevent and/or reverse Alzheimer’s Disease.
