Postdoctoral fellow
I am interested in understanding the underlying mechanism of neurodegenerative diseases and rare and undiagnosed neurological diseases. Drosophila is an ideal model system to study human diseases. My research focuses on identifying novel human disease genes by using humanized fly models, further dissecting the disease-causing mechanisms and exploring the potential therapeutic strategies
