Professor of biomedical engineering
Cornell University
Alex Kwan is professor of biomedical engineering at Cornell University. He is broadly interested in the neurobiology of drugs for treating depression. His work has revealed how ketamine and psychedelics act in the brain to enhance neural plasticity. Kwan supports open science by depositing and sharing data and code for all of the lab’s recent studies.
He has a B.A.Sc. in engineering physics from Simon Fraser University and a Ph.D. in applied physics from Cornell University. Learn more.
