Biography

Christopher V. Gabel, PhD, is an Associate Professor at Boston University in the Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine, specializing in Pharmacology, Physiology, and Biophysics. He is a prominent researcher focused on the development and application of femtosecond laser surgery for optical neurophysiology, particularly in the study of the nervous system using the nematode worm, C. elegans. His research employs tightly focused pulses of ultrafast laser to ablate biological tissue with submicron precision, enabling in vivo studies of neural regeneration and neurocircuitry dissection. Gabel utilizes the simple, stereotyped nervous system of C. elegans, combined with powerful genetic tools, to address fundamental questions regarding neural regeneration and function. He is also involved in mentoring graduate students within the Graduate Medical Sciences program at Boston University, contributing to both educational and research advancements in the field of neuroscience.
