Patterns and Particles for Studying Neural Signaling

Ray Molloy
Research Associate
Lindau Research Group, Cornell University


We compare several methods of preparing patterned substrates to support the growth of cultured rodent neurons.  We also describe the use of dip-pen lithography for the deposition of proteins that are designed to promote synapse formation between neurons and synapse formation between neurons and surfaces.

Raymond Molloy received his from Brown University . He obtained his PhD in neurobiology from Yale University for studies of NMDA receptor trafficking.  He is a postdoc in the lab of Manfred Lindau.
