Kavli NanoNeuro Initiative
A Columbia University and Cornell University Partnership
Established in 2021 by Rafael Yuste from Columbia’s Kavli Institute for Brain Science (KIBS), and Paul McEuen from the Kavli Institute at Cornell for Nanoscale Science (KIC), with funding from the Kavli Foundation, this program will explore the interface between Nanoscience and Neuroscience, focusing on developing nanotools for the measurement and manipulation of neural circuits.
Kavli NanoNeuro Fellows Program
The heart of this initiative will be a Kavli NanoNeuro Fellows program that will recruit a talented group of inter-disciplinary postdoctoral fellows who will conduct research in two or more labs across KIBS and KIC, and be provided with independent funding and support to break down boundaries of disciplines. The NanoNeuro Initiative will be strengthened with biannual retreats and symposia, a seminar series, and a visitor program between these two local institutions.
