$11m NIH-funded Berndt lab aims to supercharge protein sensor engineering

April 29, 2026

Congratulations to Andre Berndt — associate professor in the Department of Bioengineering and MolES faculty member — and Berndt lab on receiving an $11 million grant from National Institutes of Health (NIH) BRAIN Initiative. In an article produced by the Institute for Stem-Cell & Regenerative Medicine (ISCRM) and UW Medicine, learn how a multi‑institution collaboration will enhance protein sensor technology to give scientists improved tools to observe brain activity in real time with even greater precision.
