Dr. Biao Yan received his Ph.D degree in School of Basic Medical Sciences, Fudan University. From 2014 to 2017, he did postdoctoral research in the School of Food Science, Jiangnan University. He joined Institute of Brain Science as associate researcher in 2017. He got funding supports from Shanghai Municipal Health Commission and the National Natural Science Foundation for Youth Scholars.

His researches focused on vision and motor function restoration. Using materials science, engineering, optogenetics, behavior and other interdisciplinary approaches, he developed new methods for restoring visual and motor functions, including: using titania nanowire arrays to restore the visual function of blind mice, developing multi-site optogenetic stimulation device to precisely regulate limb movements, and developing small animal multi-signal acquisition devices to record eye movement, EEG and EMG signals in mice during wake-sleep cycle. He published a series of original papers in Nature Communications、Neuroscience Bulletin、Frontier in Neuroscience, etc..
