Outline

One of the most dense and complicated tissues, brain tissue contains thousands of proteins that play roles in various brain functions. I will develop a method that allows for the labeling of any endogenous protein with any tag within single brain cells via genome editing, thereby enabling high-throughput imaging of protein localization and dynamics in brain tissue with high specificity, sensitivity, resolution and contrast. This method will provide a new platform to comprehensive understanding of brain functions at the cellular and molecular level.
