Arjun Krishnaswamy is an Associate Professor in the Department of Physiology at McGill University. He leads research focusing on neural circuits, particularly in the retina, aiming to understand how neurons form complex circuits underlying mental abilities.
Education: PhD from McGill University; Postdoctoral Fellowship at Harvard University.
His research investigates how neurons form circuits in the retina, focusing on synaptic connections between interneurons and retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). He explores factors influencing synaptic choices during circuit assembly and their impact on mature circuit function. This work bridges circuitry, genetics, and function, with implications for understanding visual pathways and brain circuits.
Dr. Krishnaswamy is actively recruiting graduate students and postdoctoral researchers. His laboratory, the Swamy Lab (http://swamylab.com), hosts ongoing projects, team members, and recent news.
