Biophotonics is a rapidly emerging field, drawing on developments in microscopy and imaging probes, computational modeling and artificial intelligence, and molecular and genetic engineering. Advancements at the center fuel scientific discoveries across the Institute.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nNimmerjahn also leads an interdisciplinary research team funded by the <a href=\"https:\/\/braininitiative.nih.gov\/\">National Institutes of Health\u2019s Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative<\/a>, a national effort to investigate overarching principles of brain circuit function, including sensation, perception, decision-making, and motor control. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salk.edu\/de\/news-release\/axel-nimmerjahn-leads-research-team-awarded-11-million-by-the-u19-team-research-brain-circuit-program\/\">five-year project<\/a> at Salk is centered on astrocytes, a type of non-neuronal brain cell, and how they process and modulate neuronal signals to support overall brain function.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nIn his own research, Nimmerjahn has developed new tools to visualize cells\u2019 structural and functional dynamics in the brain and spinal cord in both healthy and diseased conditions. These tools include small, wearable microscopes that allow scientists to observe cellular activities and molecular signaling in real time while animals engage in natural behaviors. Additionally, his lab has developed biological tools for probing these dynamics, and computational tools for analyzing the resulting large and multi-dimensional data. By leveraging this expanded toolbox, Nimmerjahn\u2019s lab is addressing important questions surrounding the normal operations of the central nervous system, the mechanisms underlying disease, and how targeted interventions can help prevent, slow, or halt nervous system disorders. The lab's research on brain and spinal cord function, neuro-immune interactions, and related areas is especially relevant to our understanding and treatment of diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, neuroinflammation, spinal cord injury, brain cancer, stroke, and pain.\r\n<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","faculty":[89],"disease-research":[124],"class_list":["post-49311","disclosure","type-disclosure","status-publish","hentry","faculty-axel-nimmerjahn","disease-research-neuroscience-and-neurological-disorders"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>The Salk Institute promotes neuroscientist Axel Nimmerjahn - Salk Institute for Biological Studies<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.salk.edu\/de\/news-release\/the-salk-institute-promotes-neuroscientist-axel-nimmerjahn\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"de_DE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"The Salk Institute promotes neuroscientist Axel Nimmerjahn - Salk Institute for Biological Studies\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"LA JOLLA\u2014In recognition of his notable and innovative contributions to science, the Salk Institute\u2019s Axel Nimmerjahn has been promoted from associate professor to full professor.
