Unlocking the secrets of the brain

Alumnus Joe Graham is unlocking the secrets behind the brain at the Blue Brain Project in Lausanne, Switzerland. The Phoenix resident moved to Europe several years ago to begin working for the project that aims to design a full model of the human brain in 10 years. Graham found the Blue Brain Project after earning his bachelor’s degree in bioengineering and his doctoral degree in neuroscience at Arizona State University.

“Our brain is who we are. When something goes wrong, the effects are very profound. Separate brain regions talk to each other. If you study the connections, you can learn more about the brain.” – ASU alumnus Joe Graham, ’01, BS, ’08 PhD
