Daniel Dombeck, PhD, is professor and AT&T research fellow in the department of neurobiology at Northwestern University, with a Wender-Lewis Teaching and Research Professorship. He received his BSc in physics from The University of Illinois and his PhD in physics from Cornell University. He carried out postdoctoral research at Princeton University in the department of molecular biology and The Princeton Neuroscience Institute. Dr. Dombeck’s lab has pioneered the development and use of subcellular resolution functional imaging in behaving mice and discovered rapid, movement-related activity patterns from dopamine neurons in the nigrostriatal pathway, a brain circuit that controls movement and balance. He was a Chicago Biomedical Consortium Junior Investigator, a Klingenstein Fellow, a McKnight Foundation Scholar and a recipient of the Whitehall Research Grant Award. He is the associate director of the Northwestern University interdepartmental neuroscience graduate program and the director of the NIMH Neurobiology of Information Storage Training Grant.
