Deeply honored to be named a 2026 Beckman Young Investigator #BYI!🧬
This recognition reflects the creativity and hard work of my incredible lab, and we are so grateful and excited for the Foundation's support as we tackle the next generation of continuous evolution.
Many of the scientific questions we're interested in tackling require studying learning over long periods of time across the brain. This is challenging – which is why we're excited to say we've been developing a system for chronic wireless recording using long Neuropixels probes in macaque monkeys.
The Life Sciences Research Initiative will direct $80 million annually over the next two years to fuel breakthroughs and discoveries to improve human health

I just completed my service in my NIH study section. Some thoughts - with the disclaimer that these are personal, subjective impressions and do not reflect the opinion of any official body. Other than the one attached to my head. (1/10)
SOOO excited to share this new story from the lab, in which we identify a functional influenza-induced immune engram with behavioral and immune consequences, along with a potential therapeutic target within the lung-brain axis. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
