Catch up on some of the latest neuroscience and neuromedicine research news around the MBI.

Drs. Jeff R. Jones and Holder Russ discussed how iPSC-derived neurons can be used in neuroscience research to study disease mechanisms, model cell-specific metabolism and identify translational opportunities.

Congratulations to Dr. Matthew Gentry, who received a $100,000 Oxford-Harrington Rare Disease Centre’s 2025 Rare Disease Scholar Award.

Our latest MBI Researcher Highlight features Dr. Daryl Fields, an assistant professor of neurosurgery and a staff surgeon at the Malcom Randall Veterans Affairs Medical Center.

Join the MBI and 10x Genomics to discuss new additions to the MBI Molecular Core - the Chromium single-cell platform and Visium spatial transcriptomics platform.

The McKnight Brain Institute has named four new researchers to its Gator NeuroScholars program.

Lab of Natalie Ebner, Ph.D. Department: Psychology Hometown: Zurich, Switzerland Doctorate from: University of Zurich, Switzerland Research focus: Neural mechanisms underlying speech perception, language processing and socio-emotional cognition in aging.
