Research Highlights

In March 2019, the NeuroNex Technology Hub at Brown University hosted 13 undergraduates from colleges and universities across the United States and Canada as part of its annual Marine Bioluminescence Practicum at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Massachusetts.

Ed Callaway, Vincent J. Coates Chair and Professor at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla, California, was recently elected to membership in the National Academy of Sciences for his outstanding contributions to research.

The NeuroNex Webinar discussed the goals and scope of the program, application requirements, review criteria, the decision process, and general guidelines from the foreign partner agencies.

A team of University researchers received funding from the National Science Foundation in August 2017 to develop bioluminescent tools that can be used to enhance methods of studying the brain.

As the field of neuroscience advances, researchers must develop theories to navigate the data that are the result of this progress and develop conceptual frameworks to make sense of it all. NSF’s NeuroNex program is a response to this ever-growing need.
