Hongchae Baek

Hongchae Baek is currently a postdoc fellow at Cleveland Clinic. She joined the Chen Ultrasound Lab from 2019 to 2021. She earned her Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering at KIST School, UST in Feb. 2019. She worked on developing ultrasound-mediated brain stimulation for rehabilitation and motor recovery in stroke mouse. She is focusing on brain circuits particularly involved in neural plasticity for re-learning.
