New Faculty Member Mike Wallace Makes a Splash at BU
Neurobiologist Michael Wallace, PhD, joined Boston University about a year and a half ago when the BU community, and indeed the world, were reeling from the early effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. And the impacts of the pandemic, especially the lockdowns and the social isolation that came with them, have shaped the growth of his […]
NIH R01 awarded to advance a “Computational Miniature Mesoscope”
Congratulations to Professor Lei Tian and his co-investigators Ian Davison and David Boas for being awarded a 5-year NIH R01 titled “Computational Miniature Mesoscope for Cortex-wide, Cellular resolution Ca2+ Imaging in Freely Behaving Mice.” This award evolved from the early days of the BU miniature microscope designed to measure brain function in freely moving and […]
