Burroughs Wellcome Fund Recognizes Ten Scientists Combining Biology with the Physical Sciences and Engineering Towards Medical Breakthroughs.
RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C. — Holographic mapping of neurons. Forward engineering of cell functions. Light-manipulated dynamic hydrogels. Neural circuits for prediction and learning. These may sound like technological ventures from fictional engineers like Tony Stark and Bruce Banner, but they are among a list of actual research projects recently awarded by Burroughs Wellcome Fund — the private, independent foundation making personal investments in biomedical research and careers for more than 60 years.
