Single Molecule Neurobiology

Welcome to Cui lab at the Chemistry Department of the Stanford University . Our research interest lies in the understanding the signal propagation in neurons using quantitative tools developed by physical sciences. We focus on the retrograde signaling of neurotrophins in axons and its implication in neurodegenerative diseases. Methods of interest include single molecule fluorescence imaging, optical trapping, multi-layer soft lithography, microfluidic neuronal network, and planar micro-electrode patterning.
