Haining Zhong, Ph.D.
Haining Zhong, Ph.D., an assistant scientist at OHSU’s Vollum Institute, has been awarded the NIH Director’s New Innovator Award for a project called “Examining the Architecture of Synapses in Brain Tissue at Nanometer Resolution.” Richard Goodman, M.D., Ph.D., director of the Vollum Institute, explained that Dr. Zhong’s research is particularly novel because of the way he uses high-resolution microscopy to study brain function at the molecular level. Dr. Zhong will receive approximately $300,000 per year for five years for his project.
