Predicting and controlling complex immune behavior to cure immune-related diseases using computational modeling
Systems biology seeks to build quantitative predictive models of biological system behavior for the predictable manipulation of a given system. Biological systems operate across multiple spatiotemporal scales: from molecules to the organismal level, and from milliseconds to days, and even to decades. A good example...
Neural Interface Technologies for Human Brain
Neural Interface Technologies for Human Brain Youngbin Tchoe Department of Biomedical Engineering Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) Electrophysiological devices are critical for mapping eloquent and diseased brain regions and therapeutic neuromodulation in clinical settings and are extensively utilized for research in brain-machine interfaces. However, the existing...

Friend or Foe: Inflammation in tissue regeneration and diseases
Seminar Abstract Tissue regeneration is a multi-step process mediated by diverse cellular hierarchies and states that are also implicated in tissue dysfunction and pathogenesis. Tissue injury instigates an inflammatory response by modulating immune system in the wound sites, which is essential for restoration of tissue...
