vertebrates. His laboratory played a major role in the burgeoning use of zebrafish as a model for revealing how brains produce behavior. His team was the first to apply many of the tools now in common use in such studies, including in vivo imaging of activity in groups of neurons in the brain and spinal cord of an intact vertebrate; using lasers to remove neurons in intact fish and test their roles in behavior; imaging (and inducing) regeneration in an intact vertebrate; and more. Over the last decade, Dr. Fetcho was an elected fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, served as the Victor Hamburger Lecturer at Washington University, the Grass Foundation Forbes Lecturer at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, and participated onmultiple NIH review panels, including co-chair of the NIH BRAIN Initiative panel that awarded the first Team-Research BRAIN Circuit grants.

Dr. Tristan Ursell Assistant Professor

University of Oregon in the Department of Physics, Institute of Molecular Biology and the NIH META Center for Systems Biology Tristan Ursell graduated from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute with a B.S in physics in 2003, received an M.S. in Applied Physics in 2005, and a Ph.D. in Applied Physics / Biophysics in 2009 both from the California Institute of Technology. He spent three years as a Genentech Fellow and two years as a postdoc in the Bioengineering Department at Stanford University before joining the faculty of Physics at the University of Oregon in 2014. Dr. Ursell uses advanced optical microscopy techniques, computational image processing, and biophysical
