Dr. THEANNE GRIFFITH received her undergraduate degrees in neuroscience and Spanish from Smith College and earned her doctorate in neuroscience from Northwestern University. After conducting postdoctoral research at columbia university, she joined the Department of Physiology and Membrane Biology at The University of California Davis. The Griffith Lab investigates the cellular and molecular mechanisms of underlying proprioception, our internal spatial awareness of self, and other somatosensory modalities, using an innovative combination of in vivo genome editing, electrophysiology, transgenic mouse models, behavior, imaging, and molecular profiling.
In addition to her research, Dr. Griffith is a published children’s book author. 9 books in her science adventure chapter book series,The Magnificent Makers, have been published by Random House Children’s Books.
