Jay (Chih-Chieh) Yu

Jay received a BSE degree in Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania, where he worked with Professor Chris Fang-Yen on developing high-throughput imaging technologies for the nematode model C. elegans. He was a PhD student in the group, in Biological Engineering at MIT, and then briefly postdoc'ed in the lab to finish up some projects. In the lab, his work focused on developing and applying novel technologies to understand the nervous system of C. elegans.
