Search Labs

Our lab focuses on the neural dynamics for successful memory access and retrieval during episodic working memory tasks to elucidate the neural circuit mechanism in the hippocampal-cortical network.

Since I began studying the biological rhythms of insects during graduate school, I have been fascinated with the accuracy of the circadian timing system and the phenomenal influence of the circadian clock on almost all biological activities. This fascination has fueled my interest in learning about circadian rhythms for more than a quarter of a century.

The Yan Lab studies molecular mechanisms of innate immunity in infection, autoimmune diseases, cancer immunology and neurodegenative diseases.

The Yang Lab aims to overcome clinical unmet needs and help patients by developing and validating advanced radionuclide imaging technologies for positron emission tomography (PET) and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging. Deep learning is an important engine for overcoming the current limitations (low spatial resolution, slow data acquisition, etc.) of PET and SPECT imaging. . 

Yao Laboratory identifies molecular and cellular mechanisms that determine the efficacy of vaccines and immunotherapies against infectious diseases and cancers.

The Ye Lab is broadly interested in lipid-mediated signaling reactions.

We study how the membrane lipid phosphatidylinositol 4,5 bisphosphate (PIP2) regulates the actin scaffold in proliferating and autophagic cells.

We are interested in how metabolism regulates various behaviors. We use two invertebrate model systems of C. elegans and D. melanogaster, ultimately aiming to unveil conserved neuro-molecular mechanisms throughout animals including mammals.

Yu Lab is interested in the molecular and cellular basis of Alzheimer’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, frontotemporal dementia, and related neurodegenerative disorders.

The Yu lab focuses on anisosomes, TDP-43 aggregation, and molecular glue in studying the mechanisms behind age-related neurodegeneration.

The Yue lab studies molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying musculoskeletal regeneration and tumorigenesis, and develops novel immunotherapeutics to treat patients.
