Helen Farrants,: "Switching a nanobody against fluorescent proteins 'on' and 'off'"
Helen Farrants is an Associate in the Schreiter Lab at Janelia. The Schreiter Lab is inventing new molecular tools for reading, marking, and manipulating the activity of neurons in model organisms. These tools will bridge anatomy and function for dissection of neuronal circuits
Yan Zhang: "jGCaMP8, a new generation of ultrafast calcium indicators"
Yan Zhang is a Research Specialist in the Looger Lab at Janelia. The Looger Lab uses protein engineering to create tools – including neurotransmitter detectors, improved labels for in vivo imaging, designed receptors, and rewired neural circuits – to study the brain.
Janelia’s Optical Interest Group is currently partnering with EMBL’s Microscopy Optics and Image Analysis interest group (MOIA) in a monthly seminar series. The series is open to members of both institutions and the presentations will be available to the public afterwards.
