About
Yuki Miura is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Molecular Pathobiology at New York University College of Dentistry. He received his doctoral training in Dr. Yasunori Kanaho’s laboratory at the University of Tsukuba, Japan, where he elucidated the biochemical and physiological roles of the small G protein Arf6 and its regulator ACAP3 in central nervous system development. He subsequently completed his postdoctoral training with Dr. Sergiu Pașca at Stanford University, where Yuki pioneered multi-region brain organoid platforms to model the development of long-range human neuronal connectivity and neurological disease. In his laboratory at NYU, Dr. Miura develops advanced human stem cell–derived organoid and assembloid systems to reconstruct comprehensive human nervous systems in vitro. By leveraging stem cell-based bioengineering, multidimensional imaging, optogenetics, and electrophysiology, his lab investigates mechanisms of G protein signaling in human nervous systems and disease pathology. He leads multidisciplinary collaborations across neuroscience, bioengineering and dentistry, and is actively advancing organoid-based platforms toward therapeutic applications. Dr. Miura’s work has been recognized by awards including the UJA Young Investigator Award, the NYU Whitehead Fellowship, the TAA Young Investigator Award, the Bio-X Star Mentor Award, MCHRI Postdoctoral Support, and the Stanford School of Medicine Dean’s Postdoctoral Fellowship.
