Faculty Scholar Guosong Hong and colleagues developed a way to activate light-emitting nanoparticles with ultrasound, which could be used to manipulate cell signals or facilitate light-based medical treatments in the future

Faculty Scholar Guosong Hong says that light plays a key role in neuroscience and—and that’s why he’s working with a Big Ideas in Neuroscience team to make transparent brains

We talk with Wu Tsai Neuro Faculty Scholar Guosong Hong about how insights from glass frogs and our own eyes could help engineer transparent brains

The Maximizing Innovation in Neuroscience Discovery Prizes will give Faculty Scholar Guosong Hong and Knight Initiative-supported researcher Pascal Geldsetzer $750,000 each over three years to develop research on neurodegenerative diseases.

Faculty Scholar Guosong Hong and institute affiliates Christoph Thaiss and Steven Banik were among eight Stanford researchers to receive the honor

From studying post-viral fatigue to engineering transparent mouse brains, round three of the Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute’s Big Ideas grants will push the bounds of what’s possible

Wu Tsai Neuro affiliate Guosong Hong and colleagues developed a new technique to observe neuron formation and firing in juvenile mice, potentially enhancing our understanding of neurodevelopmental disorders and enabling new interventions.

Wu Tsai Neuro faculty scholar Guosong Hong explains how he and colleagues have used a dye commonly found in nacho chips to make living tissue transparent.
