Innovative new technologies and approaches allow us to tackle previously intractable biologic problems. From building cutting-edge microscopy platforms to growing human brain organoids, our scientists are never satisfied with the status-quo.
As we advance our innovative research enterprise, we seek to answer the following questions.
Can we visualize molecular interactions in live neurons?
How can we model human brain development in the lab?
Can we understand tissue heterogeneity at single-cell resolution?
Will machine learning and artificial intelligence help us better understand neuronal circuits and behavior?
These are just some of the ways that hubs of innovation in the Department of Developmental Neurobiology help us accelerate our understanding of how the nervous system forms during development and what goes awry in catastrophic childhood illness.
