Joseph Dent is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biology at McGill University. His research focuses on neurobiology, specifically the molecular genetics of behaviour in C. elegans. Dent investigates the structure and function of ligand-gated chloride channels, their integration into synapses, and their role in behavioural circuits. He also explores the evolution of channel subunit diversity and develops new tools for analysing nervous systems. His work contributes to understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying behaviour.
