Proud of my wife who just got an NIH R03.

Dr. Anita Chary IQuESt and Layla Abushamat BCM_CVRI were selected to receive the competitive 2022 Chao Physician-Scientist Award. The award provides up to $100,000 for early-career investigators who are in the process of securing a K08, K23 or equivalent grant.

What a group! 👏 We're grateful to have >180 brilliant minds coming together at #SVIM2022 to improve our understanding & care of #singleventricle #congenitalheartdisease. The future is bright! 🌟 x.com/benoitbruneau/…

Wonderful meeting by Additional Ventures on single ventricle research - from zebrafish to VADs. Connecting folks including three young pediatric cardiology physician scientists and their role model Dan Quiat Jonathan Edwards Deepak Srivastava #SVIM2022 #singleventricle

How useful is a connectome? We show that you can predict quite a bit about the neural activity of a circuit from just measurements of its connectivity. Led by star graduate student Janne Lappalainen, collaboration with Jakob Macke. #connectome biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… 1/n

Our collaboration with Google DeepMind has borne fruit! Or rather, a fruit fly 🪰🙂 Simulated with #MuJoCo physics, trained with imitation learning, capable of realistic locomotion, both on the ground and in the air. 1/n biorxiv.org/content/10.110… github.com/TuragaLab/flyb…

Our work simulating the fly visual system connectome with Jakob Macke Janne Lappalainen is now out in nature Paper (open access): nature.com/articles/d4158… Research Briefing: nature.com/articles/d4158…

Connectome and AI can predict fly behavior. Check out new work from my brother's lab HHMI | Janelia, now out nature.
