Research Description

I have been working on the understanding that normal brain function depends on the precise composition of cell types in different brain regions. More specifically we are working on:

1. Neural stem cell subtypes in primates.

2. Niches and neural differentiation of neural stem cell.

3. Modeling human brain developmental diseases with pluripotent stem cells and in animal models.
