Edward Callaway is an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Neurosciences at the University of California, San Diego. He specializes in research on genetic access to cortical cell types, epigenetic assays, and high-throughput enhancer screening, contributing significantly to our understanding of neural circuits and their functions. His interests include the anatomical and functional interrogation of parallel visual pathways, employing genetically encoded tools to study mouse inhibitory cortical cell types and their connections. Through various NIH-funded projects, Callaway has explored the connectivity and function of neural circuits in the primary visual cortex and has contributed to the development of optogenetic tools for activating projection neurons in awake primates. He has collaborated on multiple preclinical studies related to autism and network analyses. Callaway's extensive research background includes a focus on the use of multiphoton microscopy and modified rabies viruses to map mammalian nervous system connections. Over his career, he has been involved in multiple research initiatives aimed at understanding visual feedback systems and the intrinsic connectivity of the visual cortex.
