The prestigious Director’s Awards will support work studying sexual health and stopping mosquito bites
Travis Rotterman, a Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine assistant professor of pharmacology, physiology, and biophysics, researches nerve injury.
Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a promising non-invasive neuroimaging technique that works by detecting changes in blood oxygenation linked to neural activity using near-infrared light. Compared to fMRI and various other methods commonly used to study the brain, fNIRS is easier to apply outside of laboratory settings.
By collaborating across disciplines, we’ve pioneered cutting-edge technology, biomedical marvels, and new ways of thinking in data science, the humanities, health, and more. When we work together our impact is greater—on behalf of those living with Parkinson’s, skin cancer, Alzheimer’s, and other diseases.
Ranging across the CoE, CAS, MED School, and beyond.
Across a range of premier scientific journal outlets, including Nature, Science Direct, Neuroscience, and more
