The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative Collaborative Pairs Pilot Project Awards support pairs of
investigators and their teams to explore innovative, interdisciplinary approaches to address
critical challenges in the fields of neurodegenerative disease and fundamental neuroscience.
Jeremias Sulam, an assistant professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering and
affiliate of the Mathematical Institute for Data Science and the Center for Imaging Science, was
paired with Dwight Bergles, a professor of neuroscience at the Johns Hopkins University School
of Medicine for their project, “Brain-Wide Maps of Myelin Patterns in Plasticity and Repair,”
which will investigate the lipid and protein-rich myelin sheath surrounding neurons in the brain.
