Our lab focuses heavily on inventing and rening Next Approach Methodologies (NAMs)—specically, brain organoids, Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB) / Blood-Spinal Cord Barrier (BSCB) assembloids, and spinal cord/motor neuron models—to investigate the molecular and epitranscriptomic mechanisms driving neurodegenerative conditions like Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), as well as neurodevelopmental conditions including autism and Fragile X Syndrome (FXS). Key Responsibilities: • Advanced Cellular Engineering: Lead the directed dierentiation of hiPSCs into highly enriched neural and vascular lineages (e.g., cortical neurons, motor neurons, astrocytes, microglia, brain endothelial cells, pericytes) to construct complex 3D assembloids and organ-on-a-chip platforms.
