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 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.
