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.

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. |
Catalin Mitelut Postdoctoral Fellow Cat is a postdoctoral neuroscience researcher at New York University (Sanes lab) and the Institute of Molecular and Clinical Ophthalmology in Basel (Franke 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. |
Aramis Tanelus Undergraduate Aramis is an undergraduate Neural Science major at NYU. He is working with Ralph Peterson to develop a system with which to conduct long-term, continuous recordings from gerbil families through multiple high-bandwidth microphones and cameras, and is working on a method of localizing vocalizations in naturalistic, multi-animal settings. Aramis is the recipient of a 2022 Matthew Pecot Fellowship from the McKnight Foundation. |
