Research Interests：

Our laboratory’s research interests focus on the mechanisms of degenerative process in neurodegenerative diseases. Among the laboratory’s accomplishments and ongoing activities are (i) epigenetic basis in neurodegeneration of Ataxia-Telangiectasia, (ii) the role of DNA demethyaltion in neuronal DNA damage response, (iii) epigenetic basis in neurodegeneration of Alzheimer’s Disorder, (iv) epigenetic basis in neurodegeneration of Dopaminergic neurons. Besides, authenticate and screen the small molecule compound, remedying the specific epigenetic regulatory system change, which for the future clinical diagnosis and preventive treatment to provide theoretical and experimental basis is also one of our major research interest.
