We aim to: (1) develop probes to record activity history of neurons in live animals that can be later read to provide brain-wide information (2) design small-molecule-, protein-, and nucleic acid-based tools to modulate brain states with high spatial and temporal resolution Patent • “Use of Intercellular Protein Fibers to Record Cellular Events”, Cohen AE, Lin D, Li X and Kim D, pending approval, 2023 Representative Publications • Nat.
