• Speaker(s)Guillermo Gonzalez Burgos earned his PhD degree in Biology/Neuroscience from the University of Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1995. Currently, he is a member of the faculty of the Translational Neuroscience Program, Department of Psychiatry, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, where he is the leader of the electrophysiology research group. Dr Gonzalez Burgos’ research focuses on functional analysis of single neurons, synaptic connections and small circuits in the neocortex, using in vitro electrophysiology. His work aims to understand basic properties of prefrontal cortex microcircuits that are relevant for psychiatric disorders, particularly schizophrenia.
