Assistant Professor Xiaomo Chen’s Lab Receives 2024 Lab Safety Award
This year’s College of Biological Sciences Lab Safety Award winner is Dr. Xiaomo Chen
The Chen Lab studies the neural mechanisms behind cognitive functions, with a specific focus on visual attention. Dr. Chen's research team is also dedicated to pioneering innovative approaches that understand and enhance those essential cognitive functions.
Safety is essential to the lab’s daily operations, where potential hazards are ever-present. Dr. Chen emphasizes that safety begins from the moment lab members walk through the door and encourages open communication and shared responsibility. Every individual receives detailed hands-on training and is encouraged to connect with others and ask questions.
