Molecular tools for engineering physiology
Our lab develops molecular technologies to understand and engineer biological systems. We pioneer tools for genome editing and transcriptional regulation for controlling cellular function. We explore applications in neuroscience, diagnostics, and therapeutics, focusing on neurological disorders. Our work bridges fundamental discovery with translational impact, advancing both basic science and clinical applications.
