Interests

I am currently working on the cochlea-on-a-chip model. Using this model, my ultimate goal is to discover therapeutics to prevent or treat hearing loss and optimize cochlear implant stimulation parameters for a better patient experience. My work mainly includes microfluidics chip design, 3D printing, primary cell culture, iPSC differentiation, immunostaining and microscopy, and electrophysiology (patch-clamp and multi-electrode array (MEA) recording).
