Ed Boyden, PhD
Professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology
2011 NYSCF – Robertson Neuroscience Investigator Alumnus
PhD, Stanford University
Postdoctoral Training, Stanford University
Bio
Dr. Boyden is a Professor in Neurotechnology at MIT and Associate Professor of Biological Engineering and Braina nd Cognitive Sciences at MIT’s Medial Lab and McGovern Institute. He leads the Synthetic Neurobiology Group, which develops tools for controlling and observing the dynamic circuits of the brain, and uses these neurotechnologies to enable systematic repair of intractable brain disorders such as epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, post- traumatic stress disorder, and chronic pain. He completed his postdoctoral research at Stanford University.
