Can Alzheimer’s be reversed? What are fiber-based implants and how are they made? How could understanding the brain’s neural engineering shape our future?

Xiaoting Jia, a professor in the Bradley Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Virginia Tech, develops fiber-based neural implants that could help scientists better understand the brain’s circuitry. From exploring the potential to restore memory to advancing treatments for Alzheimer’s, epilepsy, and Parkinson’s disease, her work pushes the boundaries of engineering and human health through advanced manufacturing and interdisciplinary collaboration.
