Alice Ting and team develop TransitID, a powerful method for tracking protein activity in living cells through an unbiased approach. This study came out of the Neuro-Omics Initiative, a project funded by Wu Tsai Neuro's Big Ideas in Neuroscience program.

Biologist Lauren O'Connell shares the neuroscience behind familial bonds across the animal kingdom— and what this could teach us about our own experience as partners and parents.

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.

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 and the surprising common ground between his passions for chemical biology, triathlon and scuba diving.

Two multifunctional cell surface molecules help direct neural network assembly in the developing mouse brain

Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute advances its ambitious “Big Ideas” Initiatives to the next level

Researchers created an algorithm to identify similar cell types from species – including fish, mice, flatworms and sponges – that have diverged for hundreds of millions of years, which could help fill in gaps in our understanding of evolution.
