The High-Throughput Neurotechnology Groups aims to advance our understanding of the function and complexity of the central nervous system, and engineer it to solve big challenges in medicine. By focusing on our strengths in engineering and physical sciences, we develop novel drug screening technologies, high-throughput imaging and cell manipulation techniques, tissue patterning systems, and bioinformatics techniques to rapidly study and control the behavior and regeneration of neurons under biological conditions. We employ a state-of-the-art multidisciplinary approach including microfluidics, microrobotics, ultrafast optics/microscopy, quantum physics, tissue engineering/printing, stem cell reprogramming, genetics, and RNA/polymer biochemistry.
