Our philosophy is to try to bring the observation and fixing of such complex systems to a ground truth level, so that we can understand and address the fundamental mechanisms of operation of these systems. We are developing tools that enable molecular mapping of large 3-D biological systems with nanoscale precision, recording of the high-speed dynamics of brain circuits and other 3-D biological systems, and control of the activity of brain cells using new synthetic biology tools engaged by pulses of light.
