Illuminating Bioelectricity in the Brain Dr. He Tian, Postdoctoral Associate, Harvard University The brain encodes and processes information through the dynamic membrane voltage of neurons. However, in vivo electrophysiology, i.e., the study of the membrane voltage of individual cells in live animals, has been a major challenge for neuroscience. In this seminar, I will present […]

Revolutionizing biological discovery through ultrahigh-throughput experimentation Dr. Freeman Lan, Postdoctoral Fellow, University of Winsconsin-Madison Biological assays have for decades been carried out primarily in reaction tubes and microtiter plates, which are low throughput and difficult to scale. Microfluidics technology can overcome this limitation through miniaturization of reaction volumes and efficient scaling of liquid handling. I […]
