The research in our laboratory aims to develop Systems Biology for Neurodevelopmental Diseases to improve the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of neurodevelopmental disease. Our research can be divided into several areas. First, we are interested in genetic analysis for neurodevelopmental disease pedigree, including ASD, ADHD and other rare disease, through which we can improve the diagnostic performance of traditional clinical medicine, and at the same time, we can construct candidate gene research targets for neurodevelopmental diseases. Furthermore, we are also developing humanized research models, including patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cell neural differentiation models that carry patient genetic variations and knock-in animal models that copy patient genetic variations, we are carrying out pathological mechanism exploration and drug screening for neurodevelopmental disease on this basis. Finally, based on some of the aforementioned progress in neuroscience research, we are exploring potential clinical diagnosis and treatment clues for related diseases.
