Dr Ann-Na Cho, delivered an inspiring and thought-provoking talk on her research journey and scientific breakthroughs at Raising the Bar 2025: 20 talks/10 Sydney bars to hear experts share their big ideas at Raising the Bar on Thursday 3 April.

From the early challenges to current milestones, Dr Cho captivated the audience with her insights into the potential of lab-grown brain tissue — paving the way for new frontiers in disease modelling, drug discovery, and therapeutic innovation.

Congrats to Dr. Ann-Na Cho on Dean’s Award for Outstanding Research!! At The University of Sydney, Faculty of Engineering

Big Congratulations to Henry Howard and Summer Cao for GENESIS Program at USYD!

Big Congratulations to Henry Howard and Manpreet Jivin Bangarupeta Murali‘s Engineering Summer Vacation Research Internship Scholarship 2024-2025

Big welcome and congratulation to Henry Howard and Manpreet Jivin Bangarupeta Murali, has been awarded the prestigious Engineering Vacation Research Internship Scholarship for 2024, and joined our group for this summer vacation.

We are honored to announce the successful launch of our inaugural 2024 Nano Health Symposium📢 Today's one-day symposium began with a remarkable plenary talk by Professor #RobertSLanger, insights of engineer's journey to #Moderna, #ProfessorFrankCarusoFRSFAA and #ProfessorWeiTaoHarvard.

We are proud to share that our groundbreaking research has been highlighted in the Australian National Fabrication Facility (ANFF) NEXT report, featured in the ANFF Casebook 2024. The report embodies ANFF’s forward-thinking vision, focusing on expanding capabilities and supporting Australia’s advanced manufacturing sector.

We are excited to announce that Summer Cao, our dedicated PhD students, has been awarded the NanoPitch Prize at the recent NanoPitch Health! Summer demostrated outstanding poster and presentation, which stood out among all senior postdoctoral researchers in attendance.

We are thrilled to announce that Dr. Ann-Na Cho has been recognized as an honouree in the prestigious MIT Technology Review Under 35 (TR35) Asia-Pacific list as an Innovator. This recognition highlights her groundbreaking work in developing lab-grown brain tissue models, which hold immense potential for advancing personalized disease models and therapeutic treatments.

The Australian Museum has announced the finalists for the 2024 Eureka Prizes, and Dr. Ann Na Cho has earned the Macquarie University Eureka Prize for Outstanding Early Career Researcher!

Big Congratulations to Juliana Silva Polo‘s Engineering Vacation Research Internship Scholarship for 2024

We are thrilled to announce that our PhD student, Yuwei Yan, has published his first review paper titled "Human Brain In Vitro Model for Pathogen Infection-Related Neurodegeneration Study" in International Journal of Molecular Sciences (IJMS).
