Declan Ali is a Professor in the Faculty of Science at the University of Alberta, where he serves as Dean of the Faculty of Science. His research primarily focuses on developmental neurobiology, investigating the roles of postsynaptic receptor modulation and synaptic development, as well as the significance of presynaptic receptors in the formation of synapses. His work involves studying chemical synaptic transmission and the major forms of synaptic plasticity that are essential for appropriate synaptic function. By exploring how neurotransmitters released by presynaptic cells interact with receptors on postsynaptic cells, he aims to elucidate the mechanisms that underpin effective information transfer within the nervous system.
