Neural Engineering laboratory is dedicated to solve engineering problems in growing live neurons on a chip. Brain-on-a-Chip technology grows live nerve cells (‘neurons’) in a dish (‘in vitro condition’) to create a live neural network model for understanding information processing mechanism in neural circuits, and for drug-screening and therapeutic treatments of brain disorders. We have been one of the major technological leading groups in this field.

​The ultimate question that leads our research is ‘Can we build a brain using live neurons?’.
​As a neural engineer, our goal is to understand and control in vitro neural interface and to develop an engineering platform for the design and analysis of the Brain-on-a-Chip. The main research sectors include 
​
2D-3D Brain-on-a-chip
Nano-Neurotechnology
Microelectrode array technology
Biofunctionalization of neural interface
Large-scale functional connectivity analysis
