About
Dr. Yingjun Tan is a leading researcher in neuromuscular bioengineering, with a focus on developing advanced in vitro models to study the neuromuscular junction (NMJ). Their work bridges cutting-edge tissue engineering, organ-on-a-chip technology, and biohybrid robotics to recreate the synaptic connection between motor neurons and skeletal muscle fibers. Dr. Tan’s most-cited paper, "Advances in In Vitro Models of Neuromuscular Junction: Focusing on Organ‐on‐a‐Chip, Organoids, and Biohybrid Robotics" (2023, 57 citations), provides a comprehensive review of state-of-the-art platforms for modeling NMJ function and dysfunction—critical for understanding traumatic injuries, neurodegenerative diseases like ALS, and neuroimmunological disorders. This work has quickly become a key reference, highlighting Dr. Tan’s ability to synthesize complex interdisciplinary research into actionable frameworks. By integrating microphysiological systems with robotic interfaces, Dr. Tan is pioneering tools that not only replicate human physiology but also enable high-throughput drug screening and personalized medicine. Their contributions are shaping the future of neuromuscular disease research, offering hope for more effective therapies. Dr. Tan’s innovative approach continues to inspire students and researchers at the intersection of biology, engineering, and medicine.
