Ed Boyden is Y. Eva Tan Professor in Neurotechnology at MIT and professor of Brain and Cognitive Sciences, Media Arts and Sciences, and Biological Engineering at MIT. He leads the Synthetic Neurobiology Group, which develops tools for exploring and repairing complex biological systems, such as the brain. These tools include enabling control of brain activity with light, turning ordinary microscopes into nanoimagers, new tools for high-speed imaging of living biological signals and networks, noninvasive brain stimulations that may help with conditions ranging from Alzheimer’s to blindness and new strategies for bring down the cost of creating 3-D nanotechnology.
Join Dr. Boyden live as part of our Gairdner Foundation series geared towards Gr 7-12 students.
