Brain Research through innovative technologies
My research is focused on 2 main area: control of brain activity and neuroimaging.
Our team seek to accelerate the development of the breakthrough technologies needed to build versatile and costless tools to decipher the role of specific cell types within the brain.
To address the challenges presented by neuroimaging, we develop a broad, interdisciplinary and translational science based on our own expertise and an unrivalled capacity work with scientists, governments, businesses and citizens alike.
