| This year’s Rising Star Award celebrates the convergence of multiple disciplines – from advanced imaging and computation to bioengineering – in support of the “Year of Brain Science Technology” on Penn’s campus, and it honors a young researcher for outstanding contributions to Brain Science Technology with a USD 10,000 honorarium at the 36th Annual MINS Retreat and Symposium on April 28, 2020. |
| “Technological advances often precipitate paradigm shifts in knowledge. Novel methods for measuring the living brain with ever higher spatial and temporal resolution are providing new insights into brain organization and function. The 2020 MINS Rising Star Award will honor a researcher whose focus on the latest acquisition and analysis methods is expanding the frontiers of basic and clinical neuroscience research.” |
