BIOLOGY COLLOQUIUM
SCHMITT LECTURE
Monday, April 3, 2006
Dr. Liqun Luo
Stanford University
"Genetic Analysis of Neuronal Circuit Assembly"
32-123 Stata Center Auditorium
4pm (refreshments at 3:30)
Hosted by Dr. Frank Gertler


The Schmitt Lecture is dedicated to the late 
Francis O. Schmitt, who was Head of the 
Department of Biology here at MIT from 1942-1955.

Dr. Luo seeks to understand how neural circuits 
assemble during development and contribute to 
sensory perception.  He has developed the Mosaic 
Analysis with a Repressible Cell Marker (MARCM) 
technique to track neurons in the fruit fly brain 
and is perfecting a similar system for studying 
mice.

Dr. Liqun Luo is a Professor of Biological 
Sciences at Stanford University, he received his 
Ph.D. from Brandeis University in 1992.
