Research Interests

- Searching key factors and the underlying mechanisms mediating or accelerating age-associated cellular dysfunction and cognitive impairment.
- Studying the pathological role of genetic and environmental risk factors associated with age-associated neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer’s disease.
- Elucidating underlying mechanisms of neurodegenerative disease-causing risk factors to develop novel therapeutics for preventing or ameliorating pathology.
- Utilizing patients or healthy individuals-derived induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and the CRISPR/Cas9 genome-editing tool to establish human model systems for studying aging brain and neurodegenerative diseases.
