Jian-Guang Ni

Professor

Principal Investigator

Prof. Jianguang Ni completed doctoral training at Max Planck Society through the International Max Planck Research School (IMPRS) for Neural Circuits and Ernst Strüngmann Institute (ESI) in 2017 (“Summa cum laude” from Goethe-Universität Frankfurt). From 2017-2021, he performed postdoctoral training at Boston University Center for Systems Neuroscience and later at Tufts University School of Medicine Department of Neuroscience. His research work has been published in international journals including Neuron, PNAS and Cell Reports. In November of 2021, Prof.Ni joined Institutes of Brain Science/MOE Frontiers Center for Brain Science at Fudan University as tenure-track PI/Group Leader, where he leads the Neural Communication & Computing (NCC) group. Prof. Ni is currently supported by National Nature Science Foundation Major Program of China, National Program on Key Basic Research Project, and Program for High-Level Overseas Talents Introduction (Shanghai).
