Michael Crair is Vice Provost for Research and the William Ziegler III Professor in the Department of Neuroscience and Professor of Ophthalmology & Visual Science at the Yale School of Medicine. He has directed Yale’s Vision Core Program, the Graduate Program in Neuroscience and was Deputy Chair of the Department of Neuroscience until 2017 before he became Deputy Dean for Scientific Affairs at the School of Medicine. Dr. Crair maintains an active research program that develops and employs advanced imaging techniques to examine the basic mechanisms that mediate brain circuit development. He has made fundamental contributions to our understanding of neural activity in the developing brain, for instance by demonstrating that early spontaneous neuronal activity is an essential part of normal brain development. He is currently exploring the mechanisms by which this activity is generated and how it shapes brain circuit development.
