We are thrilled to announce that Asia Anwary has been awarded the Best Poster at the CSB Undergraduate Research Poster Session 2024. Asia embarked on her research journey in our lab as a CSB498Y student. Asia’s project explored spatial navigation in juvenile zebrafish, investigating how they learn and utilize spatial information in changing environments. Her
Congratulations to Ashenafee Mandefro for receiving admission to U of T Master of Science in Applied Computing (MScAC) Program, Data Science for Biology Concentration, starting in the fall of 2024! Ash is a 4th year undergraduate at UofT, a Bioinformatics & Computational Biology Specialist. Since September 2023, he has been working on his BCB430 project, and developing
A fantastic piece designed by our talented summer student Michelle Sun (with ESROP and CSB USRA)! It summarizes well our lab life. Thank you!
This Wednesday we shared our work at U of T Undergraduate Engineering Research Day (UnERD). Michelle gave an outstanding presentation on the virtual reality setup. Ambrose and Will discussed their idea of applying RNN in VR and won the best poster! Congratulations to everyone on your fantastic work! This marks our fruitful summer.

Congratulations to Bohan Yao for receiving his U of T Excellence Award (UTEA) which funds him to conduct research in Lin’s lab over the summer of 2023! He is a year-3 undergraduate in Cell and Molecular Biology at UofT, and he will be conducting research on the effects of fasting versus fed conditions on the
Our incoming summer student Michelle Sun has been awarded an ESROP fellowship and a CSB Undergraduate Research Award! She is a year-2 undergraduate in Engineering Science at UofT, and she will be developing a virtual reality platform for neural imaging of behaving zebrafish by working closely with other lab members. Congratulations and welcome!
Neural computation of cognitive behaviors by whole-brain single-neuron recording of zebrafish behaving in virtual reality The central question of Lin Lab is – how does the brain produce adaptive, flexible behavior? We take a multi-disciplinary and holistic (systems) approach to answer this question. We combine whole-brain neural imaging and computational tools on behaving animal models
