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 long-distance transport of vesicular cargoes in axons and its implication in neurodegenerative diseases. Methods of interest include single molecule fluorescence imaging, magnetic and optical trapping, multi-layer soft lithography, microfluidic neuronal network, and planar micro-electrode patterning.
