Kang Xiong

2024 | B.S. | Ningbo University | China

    

Biography

Kang Xiong graduated from Ningbo University with a Bachelor's degree in Electronic Information Science and Technology in June 2024. During his undergraduate studies, he received multiple national competition honors in the field of electronic design and innovation and entrepreneurship, and they are recognized by the Chinese Ministry of Education. From July 2024 to August 2024, he joined CenBRAIN Neurotech at Westlake University as a visiting student and has been pursuing his Ph.D. program at CenBRAIN Neurotech starting in September 2024.


Research

He is passionate about exploring organoid-on-chip applications and 3D functional human nerve models in vitro.  In his Ph.D. research, he is focused on developing a functional neural network on 3D microelectrode arrays (MEAs).  These arrays are designed to record neural activities and stimulate neurons while accommodating the growth of organoids.  He has extensive experience in circuit design and microfabrication, utilizing lithography and wet etching techniques to create the MEAs.  He employs human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) to establish a human neural network on the MEAs.  Once the neurons have matured, he plans to introduce chemicals to induce neurodegenerative diseases in the neural network, facilitating drug screening and disease modeling.
