Happy birthday, our beloved Prof. Yang!
January 08, 2019
It's Prof. Yang's birthday today!
She is a wonderful educator and mentor. Not only can she make every piece of difficult knowledge sound easy and clear, but also see through our strength and flaws in the research immediately! We love to seek her advice for professional work, and we love her advice for life even better!
Happy birthday to Prof. Yang!
A special talk given by Dr Shin-Yi Chiou: The cortical control of postural responses
December 25, 2018
Today's talk was delivered by Dr Chiou, who completed PhD in our lab in 2013. She first joined MSK lab, Department of Surgery and Cancer, Imperial College London, as a post-doctoral research associate. This year in May, she became a lecturer in the School of Sport, Exercise, and Rehabilitation Sciences at University of Birmingham.
Dr Chiou has shared a lot of eye-opening research with us from her career. Her research interests include the mechanisms underlying postural control and the relationships between structure and function of neural pathways using novel neuroimaging approaches. She related her work with the research topics of our lab and kindly shared many ideas. We also enjoyed her stories and experience of life and work in the UK. It was a truly inspiring session.
Thank you Dr Chiou!
