Building from a ChEM-H postdoc seed grant, research by Husniye Kantarci, Justin DuBois,?Brad Zuchero, and team reveals that neurons need signals from glia, known as Schwann cells, to become electrically excitable. This finding could lead to new treatments for chronic pain and epilepsy: https://stan.md/3TvaWY2

Congratulations to the five teams awarded the Synthetic Neuroscience Grants! These interdisciplinary projects aim to advance tools for studying brain circuits at a deeper level. Tackling key challenges that require cross-disciplinary expertise, a total of $1.24M was awarded by Wu Tsai Neuro, Sarafan ChEM-H | Stanford University, and Stanford Bio-X.

"It's not hard to stay interested and curious in a field like organic chemistry, especially in the way it intersects with biology. There's so much we don't know about the natural world, including our own human bodies." 2022 chemistry laureate Carolyn Bertozzi, sees life as an unanswered puzzle. In her official #NobelPrize interview, she describes how we as humans walk around everyday in one of life's great mysteries. Watch here: https://bit.ly/3rD8N1b
