Kenneth Hayworth is the President and Co-Founder of the Brain Preservation Foundation, he is currently a Senior Scientist at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Janelia Farm Research Campus a leading research institution in the field of connectomics Hayworth is co-inventor of the Tape-to-SEM process for high-throughput volume imaging of neural circuits at the nanometer scale and he designed and built several automated machines to implement this process. Hayworth received a Ph.D. in Neuroscience from the University of Southern California for research into how the human visual system encodes spatial relations among objects.
Hayworth calls for the implementation of an emergency glutaraldehyde perfusion procedure in hospitals, and for the development of a whole-brain embedding procedure that can demonstrate perfect ultrastructure preservation across an entire human brain. At JFRC, Hayworth is currently researching ways to extend Focused Ion Beam Scanning Electron Microscopy (FIBSEM) imaging of brain tissue to encompass much larger volumes than are currently possible.
