Appointment Status

Cross-Appointed

Evelyn Lambe received her A.B. Hons from Stanford University, M.Sc. from the University of Toronto, and Ph.D. from Yale University, with postdoctoral training at Yale University School of Medicine. At the University of Toronto. she held the Canada Research Chair in Developmental Cortical Physiology (Tier 2, 2006-2018) and ongoing funding from CIHR and NSERC. The Lambe Laboratory investigates neurobiological mechanisms of executive function and mood regulation, including their susceptibility to developmental and genetic disruption. We study neuronal activity and circuit mechanisms, using the tools of whole cell electrophysiological recording, optogenetics, and multiphoton imaging. These techniques let us assess functional receptors and signalling pathways in the healthy brain and determine the cellular mechanisms of disruption in models of developmental brain disorders.
