“Using stem cell biology and tissue engineering, Dr Ann-Na Cho has invented a lab-grown human brain model that enables more comprehensive neuroscientific research than traditional animal models. The innovative tissue-engineered models mimic human brain physiology and pathology. She has contributed to the study of the impact of COVID-19 infection on the brain, and neurodegeneration studies.”
