Neural engineering Lab

Neural Engineering laboratory(NEL) 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 neural culture techniques, microelectrode array interface, neuromodulation techniques, neural signal processing/analysis.
