Bio-X NeuroVentures held a competition for the purchase or fabrication of equipment by interdisciplinary teams of scientists working on innovative new technologies for the study of the nervous system. A total of $670,000 was awarded to 7 of the 19 proposals received. The equipment grants for innovative interdisciplinary neuroscience were funded by an anonymous donor and matched by Carla Shatz, Bio-X Director Discretionary Funds. They will provide state-of-the-art equipment for collaborative teams of investigators across the university, including the Schools of Medicine, Engineering and Humanities & Sciences.
