Morphing Neural Interface
Morphing electronics technology can enable longitudinal interrogation of the electrophysiological-neurochemical dynamics during network formation in developing nervous system, beyond the mature nervous system. We aim to develop new tools that interface with single neurons throughout the developmental phase to advance the study of neural circuit formation and neuronal diseases.

Precision Bioelectronics Medicine
We aim to develop precision electronic medicine that can treat autoimmune and metabolic diseases via organ-specific and personalized neuromodulation, based on feedback from biomolecular signal. Our goal is to use “electrons” instead of “molecules” (pharmaceuticals) to precisely modulate “inflammatory reflex” with high temporospatial resolution.

Medical Wearable Electronics
Motion artifact, data accuracy and user comfort are the challenges for medical wearable electronics. We will address the challenges by integrating material design, polymeric microfabrication, electronics and sensing mechanism innovation. We aim to develop skin-integrated wearable device that accomdate to skin movement and continuously provide critical biomolecular information for chronic disease monitoring and treatment.
