2024

2024-11-08    NEE participated the Conference of The Korean Society of Medical & Biological Engineering held at Seoul.

2024-10-05       2024 Neuroscience Meeting at Chicago

 NEE attened  SfN at Chicago and presented three posters. 

• Jia Sohn, Seoyoung Hwang, Sang Beom Jun, "Micro temporal interference stimulation on cultured neuronal cells"

• Hee Soo Jeong, Seoyoung Hwang, Sang Beom Jun, "Direct and indirect response of retina ganglion cells to electrical stimulation in mice"

• Youjin Lee, Yena Lee, Seoyoung Hwang, Hyang Woon Lee, Sang Beom Jun, "Optogenetic sleep modulation in rat medial prefrontal cortex" 

2024-08-24     Seoyoung's  new grant !

 As a co-PI, Seoyoung Hwang received a grant titled "Study on Abnormal Activity Detection and Selective Synapse Elimination Mechanisms Based on Neuron-Microglia Interactions in an Alzheimer's Disease Model(알츠하이머병 모델에서 신경-미세아교세포 상호작용 기반 비정상적 활성 감지와 선택적 시냅스 제거 기전 연구)". This project is a collaboration with two  post-doctoral researchers in Seoul National Univ. and Sungkyunkwan Univ. and continues for 3 years. She is going to investigate the interaction between neurons and microglia with in vitro co-culture model on microelectrode arrays. 

2024-08-30 Congrats, Jia got M.S. degree!!

2024-08-24    3rd Conference of the Korean Society of Brain Neuromodulation Therapy (KBNT) on tDCS is attended!         

2024-05-20   Workshop for Global Convergent Research on Healthcare Solutions to Overcome Hearing Loss and Dementia

    Since our research team (KIST, Ewha Womans University, Seoul National University, Ulsan University, Samsung Medical Center, Iowa University, and Boston University) was accepted as a pre-planning group of STEAM global convergence research funded by National Research Foundation of Korea, we have been working on the long-term research planning.  As a part of this project, the first workshop was held at Samsung Medical Center to discuss the future direction and the detailed research of each team.

2024-05-09~11   NEE participated the Spring Conference of The Korean Society of Medical & Biological Engineering held at Wonju.

2024-04-30 New Research Grant proposal is accepted!!

The propject proposal entitled "Cognitive function improvement by neural plasticity regulation via neuron-glia interactions" is accepted and funded by the National Research Foundation of Korea. The PI of this project is Prof. Sung Joong Lee at Seoul National University, and NEE group participated with Prof. Jun as a Co-PI with Prof. Chang, Sunghoe at Seoul National University. This grant will continue from May. 2024 for 5 years.
