个人简介
"ZHANG lab's research mainly focuses on mechanistic basis of synapse formation and plasticity. We recently discovered that both postsynaptic densities at excitatory and inhibitory synapses and presynaptic active zones are formed via liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS). We strive to understand implications of LLPS-mediated synapse formation in neuronal functions. We are also actively working on why mutations of genes encoding synaptic proteins can cause various neuronal diseases including psychiatric disorders and neurodegenerative diseases. Our studies of phase separation in neuronal synapses also shed light on functions of membraneless organelles in cells in general."
