Mark L. Andermann

Mark L. Andermann is a Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School and leads a research group at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. His work focuses on corticolimbic circuits, interoception, and the neural basis of homeostatic regulation.

• Institution: Harvard Medical School, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center
• Department: Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism, Department of Medicine

Research Interests: Using cellular-resolution imaging and genetic tools, his lab investigates how the brain integrates visceral signals with external cues to regulate feeding, hydration, and energy balance. Key areas include insular cortex function, hypothalamic circuits, and corticolimbic imaging in behaving mice.

Scientific Awards: Not explicitly listed in the provided materials.

Advising & Grants: Mentors 5 graduate students and 6 postdoctoral fellows. Collaborates extensively with Dr. Bradford B. Lowell's team and participates in NIH-funded projects.

Lab & Collaborations: The Andermann Laboratory develops advanced imaging techniques like microprism-based cortical column visualization and removable cranial windows for longitudinal studies. Key collaborations focus on neuroimmune interactions in choroid plexus and computational models of homeostatic circuits.
