Synthetic Neurobiology Home

We develop and apply scalable, ground truth-oriented technologies to analyze, repair, and simulate brain functions at a fundamental level. Through creative, systematic, and collaborative work, we invent and discover, and help people grow as thinkers and leaders.

What we work on

We invent technologies for imaging, and controlling, the structure and signaling dynamics of the brain. We apply these tools, often in interdisciplinary collaborations, towards the understanding and repairing of brain computations. Our ultimate goal is to understand how the brain works, in terms of its fundamental mechanisms, with one key focus the creation of biologically accurate computer simulations of entire brains, starting with small brains and ultimately heading towards the human brain.
