Research Labs

Focusing on characterizing the function of brain circuits that control memory and arousal in normal and disease states.

Identify molecular mechanisms of neurodegeneration in Huntington’s disease.

The YE Li Lab investigates both the genetic and epigenetic contributions to human diseases, particularly in brain tumors and neuropsychiatric disorders.

The Zipfel Lab aims to understand the mechanisms driving acute and chronic cerebrovascular diseases, identify new molecular targets, and develop novel therapies that will improve the lives of our patients.
