Personal Information

Biography
Prof. Dr. Alexandre H. Kihara is faculty at Universidade Federal do ABC in Brazil. His lab focus on cell communication and synchronization provided by electrical synapses and their functional roles in the development, plasticity and degeneration of the nervous system. For this purpose, combined techniques were employed, from gene expression analysis, to confocal live cell imaging to simultaneously recording and stimulation using high density multi-electrode arrays. In addition, Dr. Kihara has scientific interests on miRNA, cell cycle control, stem cell biology and apoptotic signaling.
