-The Bartelle lab develops molecular technologies to resolve and manipulate neurobiology.
-We view biology as a complex mesh of mechanisms, best descibed as a network. All of our questions and technologies flow from systems models at omics scales.
-Our primary application is the development and degeneration of the mammalian brain. The interplay of diverse cell types influenced by metabolism and inflammatory states makes the brain the most complex and least understood system in biology.
-Our pet cell type is microglia, a histiocyte mostly thought of as an immune cell, but with myriad functions in development and maintaining brain homeostatsis.
