Our focus: macrophages, our body’s BIG eaters

current main course: microglia

Our interests …

We seek to elucidate the mechanisms by which microglia and other brain macrophages contribute to the neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders, through the lens of epigenetics and transcriptomics.

Our philosophy …

We champion individuality and believe everyone, regardless of background, deserves to be heard and empowered. Our mission is to provide a platform where voices converge and full potential flourishes. Through empathy, respect, and open collaboration, we build a vibrant community where everyone thrives.
