At the Rowland, the Tao Lab sought structure-property relationships in nanoscale, heterogeneous matter through the development of single-nucleon magnetic resonance imaging. On this journey toward direct, 3D imaging of atomic structures, the lab was...
As the Director of Electronics Engineering at the Rowland Institute, Win oversees a fully appointed electronics engineering laboratory with instrumentation benches, an extensive suite of electronic test and measurement instrumentation, and a substantial...
At the Rowland, the focus of the Brucker Lab was on interactions of environmental toxins metabolized by the gut microbiome. They utilized natural product chemistry, ecotoxicology, population genetics, evolution, and experimental microbiota to test...
At the Rowland, the Quan lab sought to understand novel optical phenomena in nanoscale structures and apply these novel phenomena to build functional devices. Optical cavities and nanostructures provide powerful means for modifying the interactions...
At the Rowland, the Cira Lab developed technologies to enable new scales of experimental throughput and used them to untangle complex biological systems. Many biological systems involve the interaction of large numbers of different components, and many of...
Executing successful movements requires the brain to predict the consequences of actions. It is believed that the brain builds internal models of our body and the environment in order to simulate the sensory and motor outcomes of movements. Due to the...
Motility allows diverse types of organisms from bacteria to humans to seek out favourable environments providing, for instance, nutrients, light, or company. Often motility behavior follows particular patterns: For example, roaming and dwelling in C...
The ability to adjust one’s actions based on past experience (learning) and retain the value of past actions (memory) is one of the most complex, fascinating, and mysterious processes mediated by the animal brain. Fundamental questions remain about the...
Howard Berg, was a Senior Fellow at the Rowland and a faculty member in Molecular and Cellular Biology at Harvard University.
Howard was appointed as a Senior Fellow by Dr. Edwin Land, the founder of the Rowland Institute, based on their shared interest in...
