Mentor Areas
Dr. Chen is interested in developing novel approaches to brain repair, specifically with respect to the reconstruction of cortical circuitry. His laboratory combines techniques from neural tissue engineering, stem cell biology, and neural interface technologies to generate structured neural and axonal tissue for transplantation. In the in vivo setting, he studies the factors that promote neural tissue survival and integration and the functional effect of this tissue on large-scale neuronal networks.
