Our Research

Our lab research explores how intracellular organelles regulate gene expression in the brain at post-transcriptional and post-translational levels. We use advanced microscopy and innovative molecular biochemical approaches to explore how organelles-directed gene regulation participates in neuronal communications, and how the processes go awry in neurodegenerative disorders.
