Michela Gallagher, Ph.D.
Email Address: michela@jhu.edu Michela Gallagher, a Krieger-Eisenhower Professor, holds appointments in Psychology and Neuroscience and chairs the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences. She also established and co-directs the Neurogenetics and Behavior Center at Johns Hopkins University, a resource for behavioral assessment of mice with targeted genetic manipulations. Dr. Gallagher’s research program is broadly based in the area of Behavioral and Systems Neuroscience. In addition to studies of psychological functions involving learning, memory and emotion, her work uses a wide range of approaches that include anatomical methods, methods for recording neurons to determine their encoding properties while animals perform complex tasks, and cellular/molecular methods to study mechanisms of signaling and plasticity.
