Po-Ju Chen

Po-Ju Chen is a Research Fellow in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Michigan. Their work focuses on neural engineering and neurophysiology, particularly investigating pudendal nerve stimulation, neuromuscular junction dynamics, and neural recruitment mechanisms. They are affiliated with the pNEURO Lab and operate from the NCRC facility in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Research interests include:

• Neural recruitment patterns during pudendal nerve stimulation
• Neuromuscular synapse maintenance and regulation
• Computational modeling of patient-specific neural responses
• Medical imaging techniques for neurostimulator placement
• Role of dystrophin-glycoprotein complexes in synaptic stability

Their recent publications highlight trends in neuromodulation for pelvic disorders, postsynaptic receptor dynamics, and hypoxia-related transcriptional responses. Key sub-fields span neural mapping, biomedical imaging, synaptic protein regulation, and microbiome interactions with tissue repair.
