Earlier this year we expanded our operations team with Becca Arruda and Phoebe Wong! Becca comes to us from Janelia and the King lab at UC Berkeley with experience as a scientist and lab manager. Phoebe supports day-to-day operations in the lab and office, having previously ran retail stores.
We welcome Robinson Meng as Molecular Biology Assistant to the E11 team! He graduated from U of Toronto, where he worked in the Nagy Lab developing molecular engineering platforms for regenerative and cellular therapeutics. He was also Co-Chair of BioTEC and the Finance Lead for UofT's iGEM team.
E11 Bio is a finalist in the BRAIN Initiative's photo & video contest. Help vote for us! www.2026brainconference.com/event/44a17f...
We welcome @john-haug.bsky.social to the E11 Team! John received his PhD in EE from the U of Notre Dame on super-resolution imaging techniques and did his postdoc at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Kevin Dean’s lab, where he worked with advanced microscope systems.
Last week we hosted our largest neuro event yet at Deep Tech Week! Neuro is heating up with large philanthropic and venture investments into next generation brain-computer interfaces, biohybrids, and neuro-inspired AI!
We welcome Madelynn Isbrecht to the @E11BIO team as Research Associate! Madelynn earned her BS in Neuroscience from University of Michigan, where she worked in Dawen Cai's lab on tissue clearing, hydrogels, immunostaining, and advanced microscopy.
Welcoming Jeff Rhoades to the team as our newest Machine Learning Scientist! Jeff did his PhD at Harvard studying cerebellar circuits using electron microscopy and ML–based segmentation. He contributed to the connectome of the mouse cerebellar cortex and then joined Janelia on the CellMap project.
Earlier this year, we welcome two stellar scientists to the E11 team! Andrew Champion is a computational neuroscientist with background in image processing, machine learning, high performance computing, etc. He was previously at Janelia where he contributed to several fly connectome datasets. 1/2
The E11 Bio team is headed to Society for Neuroscience #Sfn2025! Come talk circuit mapping, protein barcodes, expansion microscopy, and optical connectomics at our booth (#4015) and posters! More info: e11.bio/sfn Ask us about our reception!
E11 is thrilled to welcome Will Patton as our newest Machine Learning Scientist!! Before E11, Will worked at Janelia and contributed significantly to gunpowder, daisy and volara, three libraries that simplify training and application of machine learning to large microscopy volumes Welcome, Will!
Thanks to AWS for hosting our data sets as described in their blog post: aws.amazon.com/blogs/public...
Unlocking the brain’s secrets: E11 Bio’s brain circuit mapping dataset now on AWS Open Data | Amazon Web Services
Today, we are excited to announce the release of E11 Bio’s brain tissue dataset on AWS as part of the Registry of Open Data on AWS (E11bio PRISM). Read this post to learn more.

Proud of @e11bio.bsky.social's early progress here, and excited for so much more to come (that I've seen previews of as a FRO board member 😍). Optics + expansion + barcoding + AI + molecules = beginning of infinity for scalable brain circuit mapping, with wide implications across science.
Andrew Payne@andrewcpayne.bsky.social · 10mo agoE11 Bio is excited to unveil PRISM technology for mapping brain wiring with simple light microscopes. Today, brain mapping in humans and other mammals is bottlenecked by accurate neuron tracing. PRISM uses molecular ID codes and AI to help neurons trace themselves. Read more: e11.bio/blog/prism
