We are interested in (I) development of novel neuro-technologies, (II) discovery of genetic pathways and drug candidates targeting neural degeneration and regeneration using both in vivo and in vitro high-throughput methods, and (III) translational research using human embronic stem cell (hESC) derived neurons. We did the first study of neural regeneration in C. elegans using femtosecond laser microsurgery (Nature 432, 822 (2004)). We also recently demonstrated the first on-chip high-throughput small-animal screening technology using microfluidics (PNAS, 104, 13891 (2007)). We are currently developing powerful in vivo and in vitro technologies/assays for translational research using hES cell derived neurons.
