Fundamental Science<\/span><\/h1>\n

Our lab is dedicated to advancing precision medicine for brain disorders using genome-edited human stem cells. We leverage cutting-edge technologies including single-cell RNA sequencing, CRISPR gene editing, human stem cells, and organoid cultures to ask the following questions: 1)<\/strong> Can the progression of neurodevelopmental disorders be halted or even reversed after disease onset? 2)<\/strong> Can a few mechanism-targeted drugs be utilized to treat a large number of brain diseases? 3)<\/strong> Can the neuroimune microenvironment be recapitulated in a culture dish?<\/span><\/p>\n

Translational Science<\/span><\/h1>\n

With active collaborations among clinicians at the BCH Department of Neurosurgery and researchers in the F. M. Kirby Neurobiology Center, we are uniquely positioned to address unmet clinical needs through translational research and technology development. Our goal is to yield actionable scientific insights that help to fill the gap between basic science and the development of therapeutics for the clinical treatment of brain disorders.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
