I am delighted to share that I am joining the Chemical Engineering Dept & ChEM-H Institute as an Assistant Professor at Stanford in fall 2025! My lab will explore the nano-neuro interface, building nano-tools & micro-brain models to tackle neurodegenerative disease 🔬🧪🧠💡

I'm excited to share our latest work, out today in nature Grateful to work with amazing co-leads Mathys Lab Carles Boix , and always grateful for Li-Huei Tsai 's mentorship! nature.com/articles/s4158…

We want to congratulate Dr. Sara Prescott from MIT Picower Institute on being named a Pew Scholar in the Biomedical Sciences! She plans to use this scholarship to test whether and how neurons have a role in airway remodeling, which goes awry in many diseases: bit.ly/3yhPv5r
