We will be circulating around the Exhibits & Posters, Sunday October 19th through Wednesday October 23rd. Please reach out to us if you would like to hear more about our Neuro-Tech and/or Open Positions at LeafLabs. In attendance this year: Sam Buercklin, and Charles Freeman.
LeafLabs is excited to announce its first award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders And Stroke, of the National Institutes of Health (1RF1NS113287-01). The total award is for $1,994,17 over three years. This comes with added excitement, as it was the NINDS (Bethesda, Maryland) that provided our Director of Neuroscience with his early career training as a Postdoctoral Visiting Fellow from the UK in 2010.
Suhasa B Kodandaramaiah is the prime awardee (UMN); and is supported by teams at MIT (led by Edward Boyden, co-PI), Duke University (led by Roarke Horstmeyer) and LeafLabs (led by John L. Sherwood, co-PI).
LeafLabs Director of Neuroscience, John L. Sherwood, and Harvard Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Biology and Physics, Adam E. Cohen, will be participating in an upcoming Harvard Brain Initiative event organized by the Cellular Modeling of Neurological Disease affinity group. The focus of the event will be ‘Neuronal activity/excitability and its relevance in neurological disease’.
This event has been coordinated by Bruna Paulsen, PhD (Postdoc, Arlotta Lab) and Nivanthika Wimalasena (Graduate Student, Woolf Lab).
We will be circulating around the Exhibits & Posters from Sunday, November 4th through Wednesday, November 7th. Please reach out to us if you would like to hear more about our Neuro-Tech and/or Open Positions at LeafLabs. In attendance this year: John Sherwood (LeafLabs, Director of Neuroscience), Mark Spatz (LeafLabs, Member of Technical Staff), and Fisher Jepsen (LeafLabs).
