On the 23rd of September we invited Yulong Li from School of Life Sciences (Peking University) to give us a talk. Li’s research focuses on ‘synapse’, creating advanced optical probes to study the brain in space and time. His team developed GRAB sensors, a series of genetically encoded probes for in vivo imaging of neuromodulators such as acetylcholine, monoamines, lipids, and neuropeptides across species, enabling rapid, cell-specific detection in the nervous system.

He gave us an exciting talk about Spying on Neuromodulator Dynamics In Vivo by Constructing Multi-Color GRAB Sensors.

After his talk he had meetings with other research group’s members and our lab students presented him their own projects. After the exciting discussions, he had  dinner with the members of the Lendület Laboratory of Systems Neuroscience.
