🎉 Our latest work on photonic neural interface has been published in ACS Nano. Just the beginning of an exciting journey toward non-invasive, high-resolution restoration of vision! Featured in the Boston Globe, Neuroscience News, Science Alert, Retinal Physician, Popular Mechanics, Optics.org, ReachMD, Futurism, and many other media.

🎉 Our latest work on cerebral microvascular imaging has been published in Nature Communications. Just the beginning of an exciting journey toward regular checkups for early Alzheimer’s disease prediction!

🎉 During the first six years at Brown, we have received four NIH grants (one R00 and three R01s), $6.5M in total, all as a sole PI.  We are so excited to see what technology each project will produce after five years!

About Lab

leelab.ai is a part of School of Engineering, Carney Institute for Brain Science, Institute for Biology, Engineering and Medicine, Center on the Biology of Aging, and Center for Alternatives to Animals in Testing at Brown University.  At the intersection of medical photonics, neural engineering, and artificial intelligence, we develop technical solutions to imperative healthcare problems, particularly Alzheimer’s disease, age-related macular degeneration, and personalized cancer medicine.

About PI
