Jason Robert Climer is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Molecular and Integrative Physiology and the Neuroscience Program at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, with additional affiliation at the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology. His research focuses on the neural mechanisms of memory acquisition, maintenance, and forgetting. Dr. Climer conducted doctoral research under Michael Hasselmo at Boston University studying spatial memory timing, followed by postdoctoral training with Daniel Dombeck at Northwestern University where he developed novel optical neuroscience techniques. The Climer Lab investigates how neural activity in the hippocampus encodes and evolves during memory formation and forgetting. Using two-photon calcium/glutamate imaging , virtual reality environments , and computational approaches , the lab examines memory at multiple scales—from individual neurons to neural networks. Key research areas include memory dynamics , adaptive forgetting , spatial navigation , and neural representation stability , with emphasis on how continual learning requires efficient forgetting mechanisms. Analysis of Dr. Climer's publications (2013-2025) reveals a trajectory from foundational studies of grid cell phase precession to cutting-edge investigations of multisensory memory representation. His work increasingly integrates in vivo imaging with computational modeling to track how hippocampal representations drift in stable environments, highlighting forgetting as an active neurobiological process rather than passive decay. No scientific awards are listed in the provided information. Dr. Climer actively recruits graduate students and postdocs for interdisciplinary research at the intersection of neuroscience, engineering, and computation. His lab's advanced methodology—including custom virtual reality systems and dual-channel neural imaging—indicates substantial grant support for projects exploring memory mechanisms across developmental and environmental contexts. Housed at the Beckman Institute (2355 Beckman Institute), the Climer Lab operates a multidisciplinary team utilizing two-photon microscopy, virtual reality arenas, and computational modeling. Collaborations with Northwestern University researchers (evident in co-authored publications) extend the lab's impact across neural coding and memory systems neuroscience.
