Скачать или смотреть Viviana Gradinaru: 2020 Vilcek Prize for Creative Promise in Biomedical Science

Viviana Gradinaru is the recipient of the 2020 Vilcek Prize for Creative Promise in Biomedical Science. Viviana, Professor of Neuroscience and Biological Engineering at The California Institute of Technology, has developed advanced tools in optogenetics—an approach that uses light to control brain cells—to unearth deep insights into the brain. She has engineered vehicles for gene therapy that—in rodents—cross the blood-brain barrier and deliver target genes to the brain. Viviana also developed a tissue-clearing technique called PARS-CLARITY to render the entire body of a rodent transparent for fine-scale visualization and mapping of circuits as well as gene expression analysis. Viviana was born in Vaslui, Romania.

The Vilcek Prizes for Creative Promise are awarded to young immigrant scientists and artists in the United States whose early career work represents a profound advance in their respective fields. Each Creative Promise Prizewinner receives a cash prize of $50,000.
