UMN, MIT, Duke & LeafLabs Awarded RF1 Grant

Opto-Crown: Transparent skulls with embedded optics for cortex-wide cellular resolution imaging in freely moving mice.

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).
