Professor Meng Cui wins NIH grants for brain research
His are among 67 new awards, totaling more than $38 million, announced by NIH in October. The grants were issued to 131 researchers working at 125 institutions in the United States and eight other countries. Professor Cui, whose grant totals $1.4 million, will lead a research team harnessing the same kind of "adaptive optics" technology used in astronomy for a new imaging system to non-invasively take in-vivo images of the brain's cortex at greater depth than usually possible.
