New Minds, New Horizons: Incoming NPC Fellows Share How T32 Funding Enables Cutting-edge Research
The Boston University Neurophotonics Center was recently awarded the T32 Grant, supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The grant will provide select graduate students the funding necessary to pursue dedicated research under NPC faculty advisors. In the Neurophotonics Center’s early days, prior funding from the T32 grant allowed for five years of expansive […]
Matthew Simkulet Awarded NIH T32 Grant
With funding from the NIH’s T32 Program, Matthew Simkulet will continue his work with Assistant Professor Tim O’Shea studying neurological responses to implanted devices. Matthew will investigate microprisms implanted in mouse cortexes using two-photon microscopy in order to examine the brain’s natural wound response to implanted devices. Matthew hopes specifically to look into the fundamental […]
Gabrielle Magalhães Ulloa Awarded NIH T32 Grant
With funding from NIH’s T32 grant, Gabrielle Magalhães Ulloa will continue her work studying the prelimbic system’s role in affective learning and decision making in adolescent rodents. While the role of the prefrontal cortex has been established by prior research, Gabrielle hopes to examine adolescent rodents specifically in order to better understand age differences in […]
