About

Casey Moffitt is a researcher at the forefront of neuroengineering and open-source medical device design. Their most influential work centers on developing accessible, automated tools for neuroscience, particularly for microendoscope implantation—a critical technique for imaging neural activity in freely behaving animals. Moffitt’s landmark 2018 paper, "An open-source automated surgical instrument for microendoscope implantation," has garnered 21 citations, reflecting its practical impact in standardizing and democratizing complex surgical procedures. By creating a low-cost, reproducible system, Moffitt has lowered barriers for labs worldwide, enabling more researchers to study brain circuits with precision. This contribution exemplifies their commitment to open science and translational innovation, bridging engineering and neuroscience to accelerate discovery. Moffitt’s work not only advances surgical automation but also empowers the broader scientific community to adopt cutting-edge tools, making them a key figure in the movement toward accessible, high-impact neurotechnology.
