Dan Sanes
Professor | Principal Investigator
Dan received a doctorate in Biology from Princeton, followed by postdoctoral fellowships at Yale and the University of Virginia. He co-authored the undergraduate textbook “Development of the Nervous System,” served on the the National Deafness and Other Communication Disorders Advisory Council, was a Senior Editor at the Journal of Neuroscience, and was elected a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 2010. The focus of his NIH-funded research centers on the influence of auditory experience (e.g., social learning, hearing loss) on CNS maturation.

Kelsey Anbuhl Postdoctoral Fellow Kelsey received her doctorate from the University of Colorado School of Medicine, and is now pursuing an NRSA-funded study on the effect of hearing loss duration during development. |
Samer Masri Postdoctoral Fellow Samer received his PhD from the University of Arizona, and is now a postdoc in the Sanes Lab at NYU. His research interests include the effect of developmental hearing loss on spectral modulation processing, and the role of GABAergic inhibition in cortical processing. |
Ralph Peterson Graduate Student Ralph is a PhD student in neuroscience at NYU and is co-advised by David Schneider. He is studying social-vocal interactions in a gregarious rodent species, the Mongolian gerbil. He is also working with Alex Williams to develop new tools for localizing and attributing vocalization in a naturalistic, multi-animal environment. |
Estelle in 't Zandt Graduate Student Estelle received her undergraduate degree from the University of Florida. She is currently working on auditory social communication in gerbils, and the effect of early experience. |
Lisa Diez Research Associate Lisa is a Research Associate in the Sanes Lab. She graduated from NYU with a double major in Neural Science and Psychology. She is currently working on auditory social learning experiments, and collaborates with Cat Mitelut to quantify gerbil behavior. |
Catalin Mitelut Postdoctoral Fellow Cat is a postdoctoral neuroscience researcher at the Institute of Molecular and Clinical Ophthalmology in Basel (Franke lab), and collaborates with the Sanes lab. He works with machine learning methods and neural recordings from rodents to characterize natural behavior and sensory circuits. His research goals are to create objective paradigms for investigating voluntary behavior in rodents in order to address millennia old questions of free will in complex organisms. |
Tonatiah Garcia Ruiz Graduate Student Tony received his undergraduate degree from the University of Guadalajara and his Masters from San Francisco State University. He is currently working on social learning in animals reared with developmental hearing loss. |
