The Quantum Neurobiology Lab

Using Quantum Biology to improve health for neuroinflammatory illnesses, bridging quantum physics, molecular biology, and neuroscience.

Research at the Quantum–Biology Interface

Our interdisciplinary lab investigates how quantum phenomena shape neuronal function, and how those insights can lead to new diagnostics and therapies for neuroinflammatory illness.

Light in Quantum Neurobiology

Investigating how light interacts with neuronal structures, studying optical properties of key proteins to reveal quantum mechanisms underlying brain function.
