Every single thought, memory, and movement depends on precisely regulated bioelectric signals in the brain. When these signals become unstable due to inherited mutations, aging, or environmental toxins, the consequences can include chronic neuroinflammation, neurological diseases, cognitive decline, and cardiac dysfunction, among others.
We believe that understanding and restoring bioelectric balance can help 1) protect brain function during both development and aging, 2) reduce the impact of neurological and inflammatory disorders, and 3) inspire new strategies to defend the nervous system against environmental toxins.
Your support enables the foundational research needed to uncover how electrical signaling is maintained, disrupted, and restored in health and disease.
Help us protect bioelectric brain health
Support an experiment
Donations of $50-$250 directly fund essential lab supplies that make our experiments possible.
These contributions help purchase cell culture, imaging, and electrophysiology reagents used to study how electrical signaling is organized in the brain. For example, specialized culture media allow us to grow human cells in petri dishes and visualize how they regulate ion movement and maintain electrical balance under healthy and inflammatory conditions.
Small gifts power the day-to-day discoveries that build the foundation for our advances.
Support molecular discovery
Modern discovery science requires powerful technologies that allow us to examine how thousands of proteins change when the bioelectric balance is disrupted.
Donations of $2,000–$15,000 help generate advanced proteomic and structural datasets. These experiments will reveal new molecular mechanisms underlying electrical dysfunction, chronic neuroinflammation, and toxin resilience to identify potential therapeutic targets.
Your generosity will accelerate discovery at the frontiers of brain and bioelectric research.
The most powerful engine of discovery in our lab is the creativity and dedication of our staff and trainees (Ph.D. students and postdoctoral fellows) who design experiments, analyze data, and push new ideas forward.
Donations of $20,000 or more can directly support a young scientist’s research efforts, enabling them to pursue bold questions about bioelectric signaling, brain inflammation, and natural toxin resistance.
By investing in people, you will fuel innovation that lasts for decades.
