Da-Ting Lin

Da-Ting Lin is an Adjunct Assistant Professor and research scientist at the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Baltimore, MD. Her work bridges neuroscience and advanced imaging technology, focusing on understanding the neural basis of drug addiction and relapse through in vivo methods.

Her research interests include:

• Systems, Cognitive, and Computational Neuroscience
• Neural circuits, ensembles, and connectomes
• Development and application of in vivo optical imaging techniques
• miniScope imaging systems for deep brain recording in freely moving animals
• Closed-loop feedback and patterned optical control of neuronal activity

Dr. Lin's scientific contributions center on innovative neurotechnologies aimed at dissecting circuit-level dysfunctions in addiction. While no specific publications or awards are listed, her lab is actively developing cutting-edge tools for real-time monitoring and manipulation of brain activity.

She advises on emerging methodologies in neural imaging and contributes to the advancement of tools that enable large-scale neuronal recording. Her work holds potential for transformative insights into addiction mechanisms and therapeutic interventions.

Dr. Lin leads a research laboratory focused on developing and applying optical imaging systems to study brain function in the context of substance use disorders. The lab emphasizes interdisciplinary approaches combining neuroscience, engineering, and computational analysis.
