Steve Liberles is one of six researchers of the K. Lisa Yang Brain Body Center at Harvard. The Liberles Lab is investigating sensory neurons in the vagus nerve — a major information highway that connects the brain to internal organs.
The K. Lisa Yang Brain Body Center at HMS was established through a $30 million gift to Harvard University from philanthropist Lisa Yang. The center brings together experts from diverse disciplines to illuminate the mysteries of brain-body signaling and train the next generation of researchers. Scientists at the new HMS center will collaborate with peer researchers at the sister K. Lisa Yang Brain-Body Center at MIT.
