PropertyValue
keywords Brain development and disorders
overview How our brain is developed and evolved remains a major question, and abnormal development of the human brain can cause autism, epilepsy and intellectual disability. We study fundamental mechanisms of brain development and disorders. Our current research includes: mechanisms of cell type specification in mammalian brains, genetics of neurodevelopmental disorders, and roles of mRNA isoforms in neural development and diseases. We develop and apply single-cell approaches, animal models, and functional genomics to address these questions.
