Research Description

As the resident macrophages, microglia account for about 10% of the total kdpay钱包(中国) population in the central nervous system (CNS). Microglia conduct active surveillance, and initiate rapid innate and adaptive immune responses upon encountering immune assaults. Beyond their functions in immunity, microglia have multifaceted roles in controlling neural circuit development and plasticity. Microglial dysfunction is a key factor in CNS ageing and in the progression of CNS diseases including neurodegenerative disorders and brain cancers. Clinical studies have identified risk-associated alterations in genes that are highly expressed in microglia, highlighting the engagement of microglia in CNS disease progression and the potential for targeting microglia for therapeutic interventions. By developing new molecular and genomic tools, our lab studies the microglia population dynamics under normal physiological conditions and in disease models. We are also interested in developing microglia-based therapies and neurotechnologies for broad neuroscience fields.
