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).

LeafLabs Awarded NIMH/NIH Phase I STTR Grant

Toward Automated Spike Sorting via Ground Truth Neural Recordings

LeafLabs is excited to announce that the National Institute of Mental Health has awarded us a Phase I Small Business Technology Transfer grant (1R41MH116752-01), amounting to $438k over 12 months. The proposed research will use multi-modal recordings of neuronal activity to generate a corpus of ground truth data for the validation of spike sorting algorithms. This grant will fund a collaboration between LeafLabs and Ed Boyden at MIT.
