Supervised by: Dr. Chao Wang
I am a postdoctoral researcher at Sunnybrook Research Institute. My research focuses on uncovering the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders, such as autism and Alzheimer’s disease. I apply cutting-edge technologies like single-cell RNA sequencing to study brain–immune interactions, with a particular interest in sex differences. Through integrative transcriptomic and cell-cell communication analyses, my goal is to identify novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets that contribute to brain health across the lifespan.
