“We are proud to remain the Goldwater Foundation’s sole private sector partner for the second year and support undergraduates interested in pursuing medical research careers,” said Chandra S. Pemmasani, M.D., founder and CEO of UWorld. “It is inspiring to see how the foundation continues to motivate students to grow in their education and pursue their […]
In the article “Psilocybin, Teens, and ADHD: A Prescription for Psychosis,” Professor Hasselmo’s expertise is brought in concerning the effects of psychedelics.
Ariane Garrett is no stranger to innovation. As a Biomedical Engineering PhD student in Professor Darren Robyler’s lab, she’s changing the game for medical professionals with her work on a new device that measures blood pressure with more frequency and precision than currently available technology.
Among those attracted to BU by this emphasis on convergence was David Boas. He’s a pioneer in neurophotonics, which combines engineering, optics, imaging, and neuroscience to study the brain. An ENG professor of biomedical engineering, Boas builds systems that use light to watch the brain in action and map neural activity. In collaborations with researchers at BU […]
Steve Ramirez’s answers the question of whether the wildly popular AppleTV+ show’s “severance” procedure is actually possible.
The Howe Lab studies how neural circuits motivate and direct actions to reach desired goals, and they have developed optical tools that allow them to study activity in a large structure located deep in the brain—called the striatum—which plays a critical role in such processes.
In the second episode of the NPC Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Ryan Raut from the Allen Institute to explore his fascinating journey from social psychology to cognitive psychology and ultimately into computational neuroscience. Dr. Raut shares his unique perspective on tackling neuroscience problems, emphasizing the power of multidisciplinary approaches in unraveling brain function.
Will Cunningham doesn’t just study how neuronal circuits control systems of movement––he’s making several moves of his own. While pursuing his PhD at Boston University, he’s serving as a member of the Economo lab group, and simultaneously helping to found the Neurophotonics Training Organization (NPTO), a student chapter that will house individual student groups under […]
The prestigious award will support Lynne Chantranupong’s work investigating how brain cells remain healthy over a lifetime, and how neurodegenerative diseases disrupt them
Professors Tian, Boas, Bigio, et al. were recently published for “Enhanced multiscale human brain imaging by semi-supervised digital staining and serial sectioning optical coherence tomography”
