About
Dr. Joohyun An is pioneering the convergence of biohybrid robotics and organ-on-a-chip technologies to revolutionize neurodegenerative disease research. Her primary research areas include biohybrid systems, microphysiological platforms, and drug evaluation models for conditions like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. An’s most notable contribution is her 2023 work on the "Human Motor System‐Based Biohybrid Robot‐On‐a‐Chip," which integrates a central nervous system component—a critical missing element in prior biohybrid robots—enabling more physiologically relevant drug testing. This innovation addresses the limitations of both conventional organoids-on-a-chip and robotic systems, offering a new paradigm for studying neurodegenerative mechanisms and screening therapeutics. With 24 citations in just its first year, this paper signals strong impact in a rapidly evolving field. An’s work stands out for its interdisciplinary ambition, merging robotics, tissue engineering, and neurology to create functional platforms that mimic human motor control. Her achievements position her as a rising leader in biohybrid and microphysiological systems, with potential to accelerate preclinical drug development for devastating neurological disorders.
