Mendell Rimer is an Associate Professor in the Department of Neuroscience and Experimental Therapeutics at Texas A&M University. His research focuses on the molecular and cellular mechanisms that underpin the formation, maintenance, and pathology of synapses, specifically the connections between nerve cells and their targets. Dr. Rimer's lab utilizes a vertebrate neuromuscular junction model system to address various problems in the field. This NMJ synapse primarily involves motor neurons and skeletal muscle fibers. The lab employs state-of-the-art molecular genetic techniques in mice, coupled with standard molecular, cellular, and immunological approaches, to advance our understanding of neuromuscular biology. In addition to his research, Dr. Rimer plays an active role in graduate training as a faculty member in the Interdisciplinary Program in Neuroscience and the Medical Science PhD program at Texas A&M University.
