研究髓鞘形成胶质细胞的发育以及疾病发生的分子机制。
研究表观遗传学和染色质重塑调控髓鞘细胞（少突胶质细胞和雪旺氏细胞）分化和疾病的发生。
研究信号通路包括G蛋白偶联受体信号对神经胶质细胞分化和再生的调控。
The central goal of our research is to understand the molecular mechanisms of myelinating glial cell development and disease in the mammalian nervous systems.
Research in our lab will focus on two areas: (1)Epigenetic and chromatin remodeling control of myelinating cell (oligodendrocyte and Schwann cell) differentiation and disease. (2)Signaling mechanisms including GPCR signaling in glial differentiation and regeneration.
