Dr. Geller joined the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute in 2001.  From 1972 until joining NHLBI, Dr. Geller was a Professor of Pharmacology and Neurology at UMDNJ-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School in New Jersey, where he was also Director of the Graduate Program in Pharmacology and Head of the Confocal Imaging Facility.  His research was supported by grants from the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation as well as several private foundations.  He was a member of many different grant review panels for the NIH, NSF and VA.

Dr. Geller received his Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from Case Western Reserve University and then did Postdoctoral work in Physiology at the University of Rochester before moving to New Jersey.  In 1984, Dr. Geller was a Fogarty International Fellow at University College, London.  He was a visiting Professor at Nagoya City University in Japan in 1991.   He is on the Editorial Board of the Journal of Neuroscience Methods and the International Journal of Developmental Neurobiology.  He holds an adjunct faculty appointment in the Department of Biology at the University of Maryland.

Originally trained in electrophysiology, Dr. Geller's research has used almost all techniques in modern neurobiology, including electrophysiology, light microscopy, electronic imaging, behavioral testing, cell and molecular biology. 

Research Description

Research in the Geller laboratory is concerned with understanding the mechanisms that control neuronal migration, pathfinding and growth, both during neural development and in order to stimulate regeneration after injury. These experiments utilize cell biological, molecular biological, immunological and physiological techniques.
