Genes important for early brain development are also important for adult brain disease

我致力于了解大脑是如何发育、生长和再生的。我的实验室正在积极寻找脑外伤或脑缺血后脑损伤的治疗方法。我发现在胎儿中驱动神经元迁移和连接的基因也在成人大脑中起作用，以提高神经元的存活和再生。探索这些基因的功能将在预防新生儿脑部疾病和治疗成人脑部疾病方面带来双重好处。

I committed to understanding of how the brain develops, grows and regenerates. My laboratory is active in finding a cure for brain injury following brain trauma or brain ischemia. I have discovered that the genes that drive neuron migration and wiring in the fetus also function in the adult brain to improve neuron survival and regeneration. Probing the function of these genes will deliver twin benefits in preventing brain disorder in the newborn and treating brain disease in the adult.
