Me with Guoan Li
(I'm the one in the black shirt)

On July 21, 2010, I visited the bioengineering lab of the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH). It is one of the largest and the most prestigious hospitals in the world. Nearly ninety thousand people move in and out of the hospital. On July 21, 2010, I visited the bioengineering lab of the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH). The hospital boasts top-notch care, innovative research, and intensive teaching. It is most famous for its orthopedic studies. Led by Guoan Li, a Chinese professor, the group publishes many papers and performs hundreds of surgeries. That day, I toured around the research center. I met and talked with Guaon Li about his research. He said that he enjoys his research very much.

Guoan Li and his crew create robots and other mechanical limbs in order to assist handicaps and other disabled people. In a large storage room beside his lab, there are multitudes of robot limbs. Thanks to their creations, the Massachusetts General Hospital uses them all the time in surgeries and rehabilitating patients.
