HWNI is pleased to announce that the Chan Zuckerberg Biohub has awarded HWNI member David Schaffer with an Intercampus Research Award to collaborate with researchers from UCSF and Stanford on a project entitled: Social network analysis of neuroimmune interactions in the developing human brain.
The team aims to develop tools to study interactions between microglia—immune cells in the brain—other types of brain cells in humans. The project is one of several funded by two new Chan Zuckerberg Biohub initiatives, totaling $13.7 million over three years.
