Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJacob Reimer is a neuroscientist and assistant professor at Baylor College of Medicine with 11 years of experience studying how brain states reshape multimodal information processing across corticothalamic circuits. He leads experimental work in awake mice using targeted in vivo whole-cell patching, advanced multiphoton calcium imaging, optogenetics, and viral tools to uncover mechanisms of gating and routing between sensory areas during shifts in attention and arousal. Based in Houston, he combines deep conceptual training from a PhD in Neurobiology and a master’s in Conceptual and Historical Studies of Science with hands-on technical expertise. Jacob’s lab is actively hiring postdocs and data analysts, reflecting a growing program that bridges rigorous physiology with sophisticated manipulation and recording techniques. Notably, his work emphasizes functional routing without anatomical rewiring—how the same circuits can dynamically change information flow depending on state.
