About
Seung-Schik Yoo is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of biomedical engineering, neuroscience, and tissue engineering. His most impactful work spans two seemingly disparate fields: brain–computer interfaces (BCI) and three-dimensional tissue fabrication. In a landmark 2008 study, Yoo demonstrated the first real-time functional MRI (fMRI)-based brain–machine interface, enabling a human subject to control a robotic arm using only their thoughts—a breakthrough with 159 citations that laid foundational groundwork for non-invasive neural prosthetics. Simultaneously, his highly cited 2008 paper (572 citations) introduced a novel method for multi-layered culture of human skin fibroblasts and keratinocytes through three-dimensional freeform fabrication, advancing regenerative medicine by enabling the automated construction of complex skin tissue. This dual expertise highlights Yoo’s unique ability to bridge neuroengineering and tissue engineering, with his work influencing both neural rehabilitation and organ fabrication. His contributions have been recognized for their translational potential, and his research continues to inspire innovations in closed-loop neuromodulation and biofabrication.
