Rodríguez Lab

Welcome to the Rodríguez Lab!

We are a new lab in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Yale.

The focus of our research is to develop optical microscopy tools for visualizing critical biological processes deep within their native context, with a particular focus on applications in neuroscience. To this end, we combine tools from physics and engineering, including multiphoton microscopy and wavefront shaping.
 
Using these novel imaging tools, the Rodríguez Lab seeks to advance our understanding of previously underexplored biology, while contributing to the education and training of the next generation of diverse scientists.
 
We are hiring at all levels! Please check our open positions!
