About the department

Department of Neurogenetics

The goals of our research are to elucidate mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease and develop disease modifying therapies.

Research Focus

  1. Unravel mechanisms underlying pathological accumulation of amyloid-β and tau in brains.
  2. Decipher mechanisms underlying neurodegeneration in Alzheimer’s disease.
  3. Explore mechanisms underlying resistance and resilience to Alzheimer’s disease.
  4. Develop animal models of Alzheimer’s disease for basic and translational research.
