How can we leverage the tools of nanotechnology to address pressing, unresolved research challenges in neuroscience?We are hosting a collaborative workshop series to bring together the worlds of nanotechnology and neuroscience at MIT. We aim for these sessions to foster community and inspire transformative ideas at the intersection of these two fields. Our vision is that these workshops will increase interaction across disciplinary boundaries and lay the scientific and technological groundwork essential for the formation of the Alzheimer’s Hub at MIT.Registration is required.
