Our lab uses a variety of techniques to study the function and structure of neural circuits. In our mouse studies, we study the roles of neuron subtypes that make up these circuits using genetically engineered mouse lines and viral vectors. We then modulate these specific neuron subtypes using...

BIDMC Cores Science Day 2025 brings together researchers, clinicians, and core facility experts from across BIDMC and the Greater Boston community for a full day of discovery and networking. Attendees can explore cutting-edge technologies, meet the scientists behind BIDMC’s research cores, and spark...

Indirect calorimetry data for one mouse implanted with a glucose and body temperature telemetry probe in the Promethion indirect calorimeter. Food was removed 1 h before start of the dark photoperiod (grey) and mice enter bouts of torpor (Rubio et al Mol Metabolism 2023)​

Germ-free mice can be examined using isolator cages (bottom). With this approach, we canexamine the metabolic profile of germ-free mice or mice colonized with specific microbes. ​

Thermal imaging was performed using FLIR on juvenile mice placed in a sterile 6-well culture dish to visualize body temperature distribution.

Body composition was measured using the Echo MRI 3-in-1 system and plotted in CalR, with fat, lean, and total mass shown on the left and corresponding percentage composition on the right. ​

Male C57Bl/6J mice (10–14 weeks, JAX) were monitored in the Promethion indirect calorimeter at 30°C, 23°C, and 4°C, tracking body weight and energy expenditure, with data analyzed in CalR. ​
