Ivan Rodriguez is a Full Professor at the University of Geneva in the Department of Genetics and Evolution. His research focuses on exploring the molecular and cellular bases of neural circuits that direct innate behaviors in mammals. He utilizes mouse models to study the olfactory system, investigating how activation of this system can induce innate stereotyped behaviors such as aggression in males, sexual interactions, and escape behaviors when faced with predators. His work employs a variety of approaches, including transcriptomic screens and the generation of transgenic mice. By using genetically modified animals, he aims to visualize and modulate the activity of specific neuronal circuits to identify their involvement in studied behaviors, as well as to define their organizational structure and understand their functioning. Rodriguez's laboratory contributes significantly to the understanding of neurogenetics within the context of olfactory behaviors.
