McGovern Institute Magic Mug

Our researchers and staff are an amazing bunch of individuals. To thank them for their efforts this past year, we gave them “magic mugs” — they’re quite a hit.


Video Profile: Feng Zhang

Feng Zhang, a member of the McGovern Institute for Brain Research at MIT, is designing new molecular tools for manipulating the living brain. As a student, he played a major role in the development of optogenetics, a technology by which the brain’s electrical activity can be controlled with light-sensitive proteins. He is now working to […]
