Summary
The St-Pierre Lab ( stpierrelab.com ; Twitter: @StPierreLab ) develops and applies new tools for perturbing and imaging the brain. We develop fluorescent indicators of neural activity (e.g., voltage indicators), light-gated proteins to control neural activity (e.g., optogenetic silencers), photostable fluorescent proteins (e.g., mGold YFP), and genetic circuits to control protein expression (e.g., Equalizers). For example, see our recent publication in Cell that describes an exciting new voltage indicator for recording electrical dynamics in awake behaving mice ( https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cell.2022.07.013 ).
