Biomedical Innovation and Entrepreneurship

The research in the Bhide laboratory focuses on developmental neurological and psychiatric conditions including ADHD and early-onset generalized dystonia. Another area of research focus is the neurological and cognitive effects of prenatal and early postnatal exposure to prescription and illicit drugs.

Current research projects include examination of the role of dopamine receptor activation in the developing brain; the effects of prenatal exposure to cocaine, nicotine and non-nutritive sweetners on the development of the brain and behavior; and the developmental origins of the movement disorder generalized dystonia.

Dr. Bhide’s laboratory employs a variety of technologies including microscopy, histology, biochemistry and molecular biology, cell and tissue culture, neuropharmacology, and behavioral analysis.
