We are an interdisciplinary team building chemical, imaging, and computational tools to decode the brain. A recent Asimov Press podcast spotlights our work and explores both the challenges and the transformative potential of this field. Have a listen!

​

Postdocs. Prospective postdocs with expertise in chemical biology, neurobiology, microscopy, and computer science are encouraged to apply!
 

We are actively recruiting candidates with experience in the following areas:

a) Biochemistry: experience in molecular imaging, protein or small-molecule probe design and preparation, and the application of advanced imaging probes/platforms to complex tissue samples.​

​

b) Neurobiology: experience in systems neuroscience, circuit neuroscience, and related diseases.

​

c) Computational science: experience in large imaging data segmentation and analysis, and/or computational protein design.
