Graduate Student Fellowships 2008/2009
Profs. Mark Schnitzer (Biology, Applied Physics) and Karl Deisseroth (Bioengineering, Psychiatry)
In order to crack the neural code, we require new tools for probing and perturbing neural circuitry in vivo. Brian is interested in incorporating these new techniques into his lab’s expertise with in vivo fluorescence microendoscopy. In particular, he is studying innovative strategies for light delivery in optical stimulation experiments with channelrhodopsin and halorhodopsin. He also has interests in novel, fully-automated data analysis techniques for calcium imaging data. His studies concentrate on visual and motor systems, with a particular emphasis on cerebellar ataxia mouse models. These projects draw on his background in physics, optics, applied math, and computer science. |
