MeeJung Ko Assistant Professor in Neuroscience University of San Francisco
I am a passionate and experienced neuroscientist with a strong background in cell biology and pharmacology. As an Assistant Professor, my lab focuses on investigating how drugs shape the structural and functional dynamics of neuron-glial interactions using 2D/3D human stem cell-derived models. With over 12 years of experience in neuroscience and pharmacological research, I have expertise in disease modeling, rodent surgery, fluorescence and calcium imaging, stem cell culture, spatial biology, and computational analysis, along with scientific communication and leadership of a group of other young scientists. I welcome any inquiries from students, academic collaborators, and industry partners who are interested in joining my lab or collaborating with me, to make translational impacts on human brains health and disease.Â
