Biological Sensing - Jian Cui
Jian Cui and his team of chemists, physicists and biologists combine engineered nanomaterials with nano-optical detection to discover yet unknown biological signals. Understanding - and subsequently controlling - these pathways, promises entirely new avenues towards prevention or treatment of complex human diseases.

Brain Development and Diseases - Boyan Bonev
Boyan studies regulatory mechanisms that control both the temporal and spatial cellular identity of the developing cortex. Such fundamental inquiries into the emergence of one of the most complex structures of the human brain will reveal concrete routes to understand and cure various neurological diseases.
