Summary
Paul Manis is a university professor and NIH-funded neuroscientist with more than 30 years of research experience and two current R01 grants. Based at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, he directs research training and education and has led a central auditory physiology program for 25 years, mentoring a multidisciplinary team of about 10. His scholarly work includes 46 peer-reviewed publications and 9 book chapters, and he has served as an NIH grant reviewer and study section chair in the 1990s; he also directed a Neurobiology graduate program with NIH training support. In parallel with his wet-lab career, he develops software for patch clamp analysis, glutamate uncaging, synaptic-event analysis, and neuron modeling, with coding proficiency in Matlab, Python, Fortran, C, and even Assembler. He earned his Ph.D. in Neuroscience from the University of Florida and a B.S. in Biology from Caltech, and his career spans roles at Johns Hopkins, Vanderbilt, and UNC, reflecting a blend of experimental neuroscience leadership and computational tools development. He is committed to translating complex neural data into practical, scalable educational and research software that accelerates understanding of neural information processing.
