Ian Antón Oldenburg is an Assistant Professor of Neuroscience and Cell Biology and a Resident Faculty at the Center for Advanced Biotechnology and Medicine at Rutgers University. Previously, he trained with Dr. Bernardo Sabatini at Harvard University, studying interactions between the Basal Ganglia and cortex, and did a postdoc with Dr. Hillel Adesnik at UC Berkeley, developing new optical approaches to manipulate neural activity with high precision. The Oldenburg lab uses these Multiphoton Holographic Optogenetic approaches to study how neurons interact and how neural activity gives rise to movements. In addition to the NIH Director’s New Innovator Award, the Oldenburg Lab is supported by a Pathway to Independence award from NEI, the Whitehall Foundation, and the Searle Scholars Program.
