Research Focus
Dr. Maxim Prigozhin's lab at Harvard University focuses on advancing imaging techniques to study neural cells and tissues. By developing innovative probes, the lab aims to combine molecular and ultrastructural imaging methods to better understand how brain structures relate to their functions. This research is crucial for exploring the underlying causes of neurological disorders and enhancing our ability to visualize these complexities at the nanoscale.
