Blackbox’s patented deep tech platform leverages machine learning and machine vision to automate laboratory rodent behavioral phenotyping. Our approach improves data quality and reliability, ensuring better, faster experimental data using fewer animals. A key goal of our technology is to use these rich data sets to generate AI virtual mice that will.

I taught the graduate student section of the "Neurobiology of Drug Addiction" course. Our curriculum introduced students to the pharmacology of drug action, neurophysiology of addiction, and biological models for the study of drug addiction. Students studied the molecular, cellular, and neurocircuitry modifications elicited by different classes of drugs.

I taught two sections of the Neurobiology of Behavior (MCB80) course at Harvard College under supervision of course directors Josh Sanes and Jeff Lichtman. This course provided an introduction to the ways in which the brain controls mental activities. The course covered the cells and signals that process and transmit information, and the ways in which the.
