About the lab:
The lab seeks to bridge the gap between neurogenetics and neurobiology by integrating computational biology, molecular biology and stem cell biology. The lab’s vision is to decode the gene transcription and advance the understanding of neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative diseases. Massive multi-omic data from human postmortem brain is computing. Human iPSCs from healthy controls and patients are culturing and manipulating. This integrative approach allows the lab to interrogate the versatile and interconnected function of genes, cells and tissues, going from a system-level view to specific molecular mechanisms.
