Laboratory for Topology and Neuroscience

The Laboratory for Topology and Neuroscience at EPFL focuses on algebraic topology and its applications, particularly in the field of neuroscience. Their research group specializes in homotopy theory and category theory, with a strong emphasis on pure mathematics. The laboratory collaborates with experts in various disciplines to explore the intersection of topological data analysis, machine learning, and neural networks, with a specific interest in applications to neuroscience and biology. The unit hosts a diverse team of researchers, including scientists, doctoral assistants, and postdocs, who work on projects ranging from computational synthesis of cortical dendritic morphologies to the dynamics of CLIMP-63 S-acylation control on ER morphology.
