Scientists
Cora Ames
Senior Application Scientist
Got a question about how to analyze and quantify your 3D histology images? Cora is an expert in the application of artificial intelligence and machine learning to biological data and can provide you with the analysis techniques you need to take your study to the next level. She received a BS in Mathematics from the University of Chicago, a PhD in Neuroscience from Stanford University, and completed Post-doctoral research in Neuroscience at Columbia University, where she studied the dynamics of neural signals and their interaction with motor control behavior. At LifeCanvas, she is now working to develop our automated image analysis pipeline, enabling customers to gain detailed quantitative insights.
Adam Charles Hall
Senior Application Scientist
Adam has an extensive background and experience in neuroscience and provides customer support for design, implementation, and success of 3D histology projects related to neuroanatomy, neuropharmacology, developmental neurobiology, and neurodegenerative disorders. He received a PhD in Biochemistry from Imperial College, University of London, UK and a Masters in Pharmacology from Gonville & Caius College, University of Cambridge, UK exploring the neuropharmacology and neurotoxicology of anoretic, anesthetic, and anxiolytic agents.
