​In the Goodrich Lab, we study how neural circuits develop and function. ​Our goals are to produce knowledge and train the next generation of scientists in a supportive, welcoming environment that upholds the highest standards of scientific rigor. We place high value on interdisciplinary, collaborative approaches that allow us to tackle fundamental questions at the molecular, cellular, and physiological levels. Through journal clubs, lab meetings, small group meetings, and lab retreats, we work collectively to move our science forward and to help each other to thrive. We believe that people from all walks of life should feel at home in our lab. Current lab members come from all over the USA and from four continents. Our trainees contribute to society by applying their scientific expertise in a variety of careers, at the bench and beyond.

We organized our mousekepedia (the mouse line inventory for the lab), updated the roadmaps on our server folders to make sure our work is accessible to others in the lab, defrosted bay freezers and got organized to start the new year's experiments with a bang!
December 2022: Good news all around :) Isle defended her Thesis!! Congratulations to the newly minted Dr. Bastille!! Evelyn and Austen gave bomb talks at the Neurobiology Departmental Seminar! Evelyn received an Ibro Rising Star Award towards her soon-to-open lab at UCatolica in Santiago, Chile! Cynthia joined the lab!!! Welcome Cynthia! And Jess finished her rotation with us. We hope you'll come back soon Jess! We also had a swell time at Lisa's Holiday party although Gabe and Busola could not be there.
September 2022: Cynthia and Jessica began their rotations in the lab! Cynthia will be working with Isle on the cMaf project and Jess is joining Zack on Glia team.
