AFOSR Young Investigator Award!

We were selected as a recipient of the 2022 Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) young investigator award. The funded project involves advanced Nanotechnology and AI techniques to measure electrical potentials in single neuronal cells to understand neuron communications in health and disease. Big thank you to AFOSR biophysics program for funding our project. Our colleagues Poulikakos Lab and Romero Lab were also among the awardees this year- Go Tritons! Read more here.
