Advancing neuroscience with cutting-edge ultrasound technology

Housed in one of the largest neuroscience buildings in the United States, the Chen Ultrasound Lab is at the forefront of technology innovation that bridges neuroscience with ultrasound engineering. The Chen Ultrasound Lab has pioneered technologies, including sonodelivery, sonobiopsy, and sonogenetics. Our lab has designated areas for the development, calibration, and production of ultrasound transducers, ensuring accuracy and precision for our in-house manufactured transducers. Our ability to rapidly prototype is attributable to our mature 3D printing technology. The Chen Ultrasound Lab is also equipped with preclinical and clinical ultrasound systems, including neuronavigation-guided and MR-guided focused ultrasound devices, crucial to our large animal studies with pigs and non-human primates as well as on-going clinical studies. Our dedicated animal surgery and behavior testing suite strengthens our research capability.
