Brain Resilience Postdoc Heankel Lyons and Pathways to Neurosciences trainee Airi Yoshimoto will receive three years of funding from the Jane Coffin Childs Fund for Medical Research

Ten innovative postdoctoral scholars will pursue creative approaches to advance neuroscience and brain resilience research

Wu Tsai Neuro researchers reprogrammed fruit fly brain development and behavior using new discoveries about how attractive and repulsive molecules build neural circuits

How does the brain wire itself for learning? What molecular mechanisms protect neural circuits during aging? These are just some of the research projects by the 2025 Neurosciences Postdoctoral Scholars.

At the 2024 Neuro-omics Symposium, early-stage research funded by Wu Tsai Neuro's Big Ideas in Neuroscience program revealed exciting progress at the intersection of genomics and AI.

We are proud to welcome the 2024 Neurosciences Postdoctoral Scholars — ten young scientists pursuing novel, multi-disciplinary approaches to understanding the workings of the brain.

Linderman’s research group builds computational tools to extract simple structures from high-dimensional datasets, enhancing our understanding of the brain and its processes. He spoke with us about his work and the McKnight award.

NeuroOmics technology lets researchers label and capture cell-surface proteins in intact, live tissue — opening opportunities to understand complex cellular interactions and future drug targets.

Researchers with the Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute have observed the formation of skill-based memories in the brains of mice, potentially leading to improved understanding of learning and Parkinson’s disease.

New work from Wu Tsai Neuro affiliate Liqun Luo and his lab uses a novel proteomics technique developed through the Neuro-omics initiative to understand how a limited number of genes can specify trillions of unique connections.

Wu Tsai Neuro interdisciplinary postdoctoral scholar Boxuan Zhao tells us about designing new tools to create a "blueprint" for the brain and the surprising common ground between his passions for chemical biology, triathlon and scuba diving.
