John Sherwood

As LeafLabs’ Director of Neuroscience, Sherwood brings over 15 years of experience as an in vitro and in vivo electrophysiologist; split between top research Universities/Institutes.. He is skilled at performing single & multi-unit extracellular recordings, evoked field potential recordings, and whole cell patch clamp recordings. Using LeafLabs’ high-density multi-electrode arrays, Sherwood pioneered multi-unit recordings from intact cerebral organoids. Before LeafLabs, Sherwood was a Postdoctoral Fellow with Prof. John Isaac (NINDS, '08-'10; Eli Lilly, '10-'13), followed by a Research Associate in the Lab of Prof. Paola Arlotta (Harvard University, '14-'18). In Sherwoods spare time he is slowly turning his backyard into a farm. (University of Bristol, BSc Neuroscience with a year in Industry '03 / University of Bristol, PhD Neuroscience '07)
