Pachitariu + Stringer lab

Our lab is at HHMI Janelia Research Campus (near DC), a fully-funded non-profit research institution. Janelia just received a $500 million investment for AI research 🤖, more info here.

We are recruiting PhD students!

Research

Our lab combines machine learning / AI techniques and large-scale imaging to investigate plasticity rules and sensory representations in cortical circuits. Example recording of 50,000+ neurons simultaneously at 3Hz, using two-photon calcium imaging:
