Humans of HBI - Satpreet (Sat) Singh I build "virtual model organisms” with artificial bodies and artificial brains that are trained to behave like real model organisms, such as insects and fish, in simulated worlds.

Humans of HBI - Hannah Farnsworth In the past, primary brain tumors were viewed as diseases that merely invade and destroy brain tissue. However, researchers now recognize that these tumors actually integrate into the brain’s circuitr...

Happy to have one of our amazing grad students, Hannah Farnsworth, featured in @harvardbrainsci.bsky.social 's #HumansofHBI. You can check out the article here and learn more about Hannah's work in the lab!

How does genetic and molecular variation, either through evolution or within a species, result in neural and behavioral variation? How many different ways can you evolve a similar behavior?

Olumide Fagboyegun - Harvard Brain Science Initiative What I study is how the furniture of the brain—those proteins and sugars—changes as an organism develops, and how that change influences how cells function, and how organisms behave.

Meet Olumide Fagboyegun @olumidejf.bsky.social on #HumansofHBI
The big question driving Olumide's research- What factors guide the development and maturation of the nervous system?
