Richards describes the powerhouse of neuroscience research at Washington University and the School of Medicine’s investment in constructing one of the largest neuroscience research facilities in the country.
The Neuroscience Program of DBBS will be offering several online open house events in November to answer questions for prospective graduate students.
Research from Valeria Cavalli’s lab shows that targeting support cells with a cholesterol drug could improve recovery after spinal cord injury.
Wang’s research as a postdoc in Andreas Burkhalter’s lab revealed the mouse visual cortex as much more structurally complex than scientists previously thought.
The project aims to refine recombination-mediated cassette exchange (RMCE), an approach to inserting large DNA sequences into the genome, for use in the model organism C. elegans.
Richards, the head of the Department of Neuroscience, will apply the high-risk, high-reward grant to developing a new animal model for studying brain development.
Join us as the Department of Neuroscience at Washington University School of Medicine prepares to relocate into a new state-of-the-art neurosciences research building.
The Department of Neuroscience is among those preparing to move into the start-of-the-art facility in 2023.
Along with co-PI Hong Chen, associate professor of biomedical engineering, and collaborators including neuroscience professor Larry Snyder, Monosov will adapt an approach to controlling brain activity, called optogenetics, with the ultimate goal of repairing neural dysfunction.
Richards and other representatives from the International Brain Initiative will discuss methods of advancing international neuroscience collaborations at this event from the Panel for the Future of Science and Technology (STOA).
