Steven J. Henriksen, Ph.D. is the founding Dean of the Graduate College of Biomedical Sciences, Western University's Vice President for Research and a Professor of Pharmacology in the College of Osteopathic Medicine. He came to Western University in 2005 from the Scripps Research Insitute in La Jolla, California, where he led a multidisciplinary team of scientists investigating feline viruses, the mechanisms of mammalian sleep and drug abuse neurocircuitry. Dr Henriksen received a B.A. in Analytical Biology from the University of California, Santa Barbara and a Ph.D. in Neuroscience from the Stanford University School of Medicine. His current research takes a "systems" approach to understanding the functional organization of neural circuits underlying both normal and abnormal brain activity. To understand how the brain initiates, promotes, and alters behavior, his laboratory seeks to understand the hierarchy of neuronal circuits and their chemical messengers and how they produce appropriate responses to external and internal sensory events.
