About
Dr. Kaiqi Meng is at the forefront of bioengineering, specializing in the development of advanced in vitro models for the neuromuscular junction (NMJ)—the critical synaptic bridge between motor neurons and muscle fibers. Their most cited work, the 2023 review "Advances in In Vitro Models of Neuromuscular Junction," has garnered 57 citations and serves as a seminal roadmap for the field. In this comprehensive synthesis, Dr. Meng systematically evaluates cutting-edge platforms—including organ-on-a-chip systems, organoids, and biohybrid robotics—that replicate NMJ physiology for studying traumatic, neurodegenerative, and neuroimmunological diseases. By critically analyzing the strengths and limitations of each approach, they have provided researchers with a clear framework for selecting appropriate models to investigate conditions like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and spinal muscular atrophy. Dr. Meng’s contributions are pivotal in bridging the gap between basic neuroscience and translational medicine, offering tools that could accelerate drug discovery and personalized therapies for devastating neuromuscular disorders. Their work continues to inspire innovation in microphysiological systems and biohybrid robotics.
