TAMPA BAY, Fla., Aug. 23, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- In 2013, then-President Obama launched the brain initiative, which allocated funding to map every neuron in the brain.

Key Points: 
  • The need for data analysis has allocated neuroscience graduate students to solving complex computer science problems.
  • Dimitri Yatsenko's background in computer science gave him a unique perspective when his fascination with the human brain led him to neuroscience.
  • They develop data science frameworks, platforms, and services for collaborative research, focusing on neuroscience and AI.
  • While engaged in neuroscience research at Baylor College of Medicine, Dimitri started the DataJoint framework as an open source framework https://datajoint.org .
