VergeSci
The network
Across 32 institutions.
VergeSci will be rolling out to 32 institutions to launch our initiative to make research accessible to all.
The gap
Research runs on curiosity.
Research runs on ability.
Research runs on ambition.
The right fit
Every lab mapped in relation to your interests.
VergeSci finds your closest fit by what piques your curiosity, your prior experiences, and your career goals, so you can accelerate your engagement in research.
Neural Circuits Lab
Examines how neural circuits assemble and adapt at cellular resolution.
Tap to view the labHover to view the labThe lab reconstructs synaptic connectivity using two-photon imaging and optogenetic perturbation. Current work characterizes how circuits reorganize as animals acquire new behaviors.
Computational Genomics Lab
Applies machine learning to interpret the structure and function of the genome.
Tap to view the labHover to view the labThe group develops deep learning models that predict regulatory activity directly from DNA sequence. Ongoing studies relate noncoding variation to disease risk across diverse populations.
Vision & Cognition Lab
Investigates how visual perception gives rise to understanding and judgment.
Tap to view the labHover to view the labResearch pairs psychophysics with neural recording to trace how the visual system constructs stable percepts. A central aim is to formalize how attention shapes perceptual inference.
Immuno-Engineering Lab
Engineers cellular systems that direct the immune response against disease.
Tap to view the labHover to view the labThe lab designs synthetic receptors that reprogram immune cells to recognize tumors. Recent efforts improve the precision and durability of engineered cell therapies.
The platform
Everything a student needs to find their place in research.
Discover Labs
A live feed of every researcher, where each recommendation is aligned to your interests, with filters when you prefer to lead the search.
The engine
Your interests as coordinates.
The more you explore, the sharper the recommendations get.
Understanding
It learns what draws your curiosity
Alignment
It surfaces the labs and people closest to you
Compounding
Every interaction improves your experience
