The Chan laboratory has a long research history on the early development of the central and enteric nervous systems. More recent efforts are devoted to the study of the migration and differentiation of neural crest stem cells and Schwann cell precursors derived from iPSCs. Specifically, the potential application of neural crest-like Schwann cell precursors for the repair of peripheral nerve injuries is being studied, focusing on the genetic and epigenetic controls of cellular migration, proliferation and differentiation.

Dr. Chan has developed innovative microfluidic technologies to perform 3D spheroid culture of mesenchymal stem cells and hepatocytes and examined the functional role of specific extracellular matrix components. He will be applying his expertise to establish a microphysiological system containing a 3D human skeletal muscle tissue (3DSM) by culturing primary human myoblast in a fibrin-based hydrogel for a biomimetic platform drug toxicity testing.
