Episode Synopsis

In this episode, Ed Boyden joins us to discuss his research at MIT and how an imaging technology developed by Boyden and his colleagues is applicable to type 1 diabetes researchers. Dr. Boyden leads the Synthetic Neurobiology Group, which develops tools for analyzing and repairing complex biological systems such as the brain, and applies them systematically to reveal ground truth principles of biological function as well as to repair these systems. He co-directs the MIT Center for Neurobiological Engineering, which aims to develop new tools to accelerate neuroscience progress, and is a faculty member of the MIT Center for Environmental Health Sciences, Computational & Systems Biology Initiative, and Koch Institute.
