About The Yu-Wei Wu Laboratory
Located at the Institute of Molecular Biology (IMB), Academia Sinica, the Wu Laboratory sits at the intersection of systems neuroscience and neural engineering. Our mission is to decode the dynamic reorganization of neural circuits and glial networks during motor learning and the progression of movement disorders. By bridging advanced neurotechnology—from multi-modal electrophysiology to deep-learning behavioral analysis—with fundamental biology, we aim to uncover the 'how' and 'why' of brain plasticity in health and disease. We are a team of innovators dedicated to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in brain research. (See Research)
Our laboratory is a playground for discovery. We bridge the gap between micro-scale precision and large-scale dynamics. Our facility features advanced two-photon systems optimized for dual-color in vivo imaging and simultaneous neural manipulation. Complementing this, our electrophysiology suite spans from patch-clamp to thousand-channel CMOS-microwire arrays. Beyond the bench, we are committed to an inclusive, collaborative environment where personal and professional development are prioritized. We believe the lab’s trajectory is defined by its members—join us and contribute to a culture where your success is our primary goal.
