The Department of Biology and the Center for Developmental Neuroscience at the College of Staten Island are committed to quality in education and research.













So proud to see my amazing @csinews colleague Leora Yetnikoff receive recognition for her groundbreaking work! #CSI professor awarded $390K in federal grants for biomedical research, Rep. Malliotakis announces silive.com/news/2021/08/c…


Mole-rats can't practice social distancing because of a genetic trait that makes them enjoy piling on top of one another underground The same gene may play a role in human neurological conditions, a study led by @csinews/@GC_CUNY Prof. Dan McCloskey found sum.cuny.edu/naked-mole-rat…


So very excited to share our new paper: Nest Carbon Dioxide Masks GABA-Dependent Seizure Susceptibility in the Naked Mole-Rat, in @CurrentBiology today. This work by lead author @michael_zions emerged from a wonderful collaboration with @KailaLab5. cell.com/current-biolog…

We expel carbon dioxide as waste. Naked mole rats bathe their brains in it to prevent seizures. dlvr.it/RVmjw8
