Soumya Chatterjee joined the Neural Coding group at the Allen Institute in 2013 to investigate the functional properties of cortical microcircuits, working at the interface of neural ensembles and single-neuron computation. Prior to joining the Institute, his main area of research was the cortical representation of color in trichromatic primates. As a graduate student with Ed Callaway at the Salk Institute, he used electrophysiological and neuroanatomical methods to show the parallel organization of early color pathways and their cortical targets. As a postdoctoral fellow with Clay Reid at Harvard Medical School, he followed these chromatic inputs into the circuitry of primary visual cortex, identifying a fine-scale architecture of color by bringing the technique of in vivo two-photon imaging to the primate visual system. He holds an A.B. in Physics from Harvard and a Ph.D. in Neurosciences from the University of California, San Diego.
