CLARITY
Research Summary
The Chung Lab is an interdisciplinary research team devoted to developing and applying novel technologies (e.g. CLARITY) for integrative and comprehensive understanding of large-scale complex biological systems. CLARITY. Specifically, the lab develops a host of methods that enable rapid extraction of system-wide structural, molecular, and genomic information from intact tissues. Furthermore, research combine these technologies with physiological and behavioral approaches to study function and dysfunction of mammalian brain as well as other organs. We hope that our developing technique will continue to provide unforeseen opportunities for deeper understanding of biological systems.
The Lab's mission is to empower the scientific community by openly sharing the research outcomes and offering training courses to broadly and rapidly disseminate the technologies.
