The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) was founded in 2015 to help solve some of society’s toughest challenges — from eradicating disease and improving education, to addressing the needs of our local communities. CZI's imaging program aims to "support the development of new tools or significant enhancements of existing tools to monitor biological processes in motion, across time, and across spatial scales.” One of this year’s grantees is Ahmed Abdelfattah, assistant professor of Brain Science and assistant professor in the Department of Neuroscience for his project “High-speed Volumetric Voltage Imaging.”
