With funding from the NIH’s T32 Program, Matthew Simkulet will continue his work with Assistant Professor Tim O’Shea studying neurological responses to implanted devices. Matthew will investigate microprisms implanted in mouse cortexes using two-photon microscopy in order to examine the brain’s natural wound response to implanted devices. Matthew hopes specifically to look into the fundamental […]
With funding from NIH’s T32 grant, Gabrielle Magalhães Ulloa will continue her work studying the prelimbic system’s role in affective learning and decision making in adolescent rodents. While the role of the prefrontal cortex has been established by prior research, Gabrielle hopes to examine adolescent rodents specifically in order to better understand age differences in […]
With funding from NIH’s T32 grant, Courtney Aul will continue her work with Professor Alice Cronin-Golomb studying the association between cognition and motor function in Parkinson’s patients. While previous research has established a correlation between gait and attention in patients with Parkinson’s, Courtney’s research seeks to examine this relationship further, and determine whether or not […]
Swathi Kiran, the James and Cecilia Tse Ying Professor in Neurorehabilitation, and Clinical Professor Elizabeth Hoover have been recognized by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) for their contributions to the professions of speech-language pathology and speech & hearing science.
Matthias Stangl is an assistant professor of BME. His lab focuses on the intersection of cognitive neuroscience, neuroengineering, and data analysis, to address key questions about human cognition and behavior.
Brian DePasquale, assistant professor of BME, has always been fascinated with the brain. His lab uses machine learning, neural networks and dynamic systems to understand brain function.
Embracing recent advances in developmental biology can drive a new wave of innovation.
Crystal ribcage opens black box of a functioning lung to optical imaging: A transparent ‘crystal’ ribcage enables first real-time, high-resolution optical imaging of a functioning lung from whole organ down to single-cell scales.
Helen Tager-Flusberg for her continuing dedication to her field of research and her many contributions to our department and Boston University over the course of her career. In academia internationally, Helen’s name is pretty much synonymous with early autism research. She is not just a star of the field, she is one of the originators […]
