Xuelin Wang joins us in Boston for the summer. She is an undergraduate in the natural sciences at the
University of Cambridge. Morgan Ellis is an undergraduate at Spelman College in Atlanta studying English
and preparing for a career in medicine. Janani Ganesh will also join us in July. David Oluigbo has joined
an exciting collaboration with the ALFA group at MIT CSAIL this summer working on the calcium imaging network
analysis pipeline.

Through a grant funded by the Novo Nordisk Foundation, we will be developing new technology
to combine microelecrode array (MEA) recordings with spatial transcriptomics. This is an
exciting collaborative project with the groups of Vanessa Jane Hall (U of Copenhagen), Martin
Hemberg (BWH), and Yannick Coffinier (U of Lille). This project is based in our group at the Brigham
and Women's Hospital in Boston, MA (USA).

Mona is a MPhil student in the Basic and Translational Neuroscience at the University of Cambridge.
She will be joining us in January to work with Yin and Alex on learning to grow, record, and analyse
developing neuronal networks. David is a freshman at MIT in Course 6-9 (computer science and neuroscience)
who will joing our SAND Boston lab in January to learn about growing, recording from and analysing human-derived
developing neuronal networks. He may also join our collaboration with the ALFA group at MIT CSAIL.
