黃兆祺於美國康乃爾大學完成分子生物與遺傳學博士（Ph.D）學位，曾任美國斯克里普斯研究所（Scripps Research Institute）博士後研究員、美國加州大學聖地牙哥分校（University of California San Diego）博士後研究員。目前為陽明交通大學生物科技學院分子醫學與生物工程研究所教授，也是陽明交通大學跨領域智能動態系統生物團隊主持人、陽明交通大學生物資訊中心研究員。透過分子生物、細胞生物學、光遺傳學等技術觀察神經細胞在外界環境與內在平衡發生改變後所產生的行為改變。在進行細胞行為觀察的過程中，嘗試將生冷的科學操作與藝術做結合，探索兩個領域結合的可能性（例如利用光控制細胞的移動來產生微小且獨特的圖像）。研究領域包括：神經發育、神經再生、神經退化性疾病、生物材料開發。
Eric Hwang
Eric Hwang graduated from Cornell University with the Ph.D. degree in the field of Molecular Biology and Genetics. Eric worked as a postdoctoral research fellow at the Scripps Research Institute and University of California San Diego. He is currently a professor in the Institute of Molecular Medicine and Bioengineering of the College of Biological Science and Technology at National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU), Taiwan. He is the co-PI of Smart Platform of Dynamic Systems Biology for Therapeutic Development team at NYCU and a researcher of the Institute of Bioinformatics at NYCU. Using a combination of molecular biology, cell biology, and optogenetic techniques, his group attempts to understand the behavioral alteration of neurons upon external environment or internal homeostasis changes. Eric is also interested in the possibility of combining scientific manipulation and art creation (e.g. using light to control the movement of cells in order to generate unique microscopic patterns). His research fields include neuronal development, neuroregeneration, neurodegenerative diseases, and biomaterials.
