줄기세포 및 분화연구 발생 및 질환 모델 조직공학 및 오가노이드

Lab Info.

신경줄기세포 연구실에서는 인간의 뇌를 구성하는 다양한 세포들이 정교한 유전자 발현 프로그램을 통해 어떻게 생성되고 조절되는지를  줄기세포와 뇌 오가노이드 모델을 이용해 연구합니다.
또한 줄기세포 유래 모델들을 이용하여 신경발달질환과 퇴행성 뇌질환의 발병 원인을 규명하고 치료법 개발을 도모하고 있습니다.
In the Laboratory of Neural Stem Cell Biology, we study how various cells that make up the human brain are generated and regulated through intricate gene expression programs using stem cells and brain organoid models.
Additionally, we aim to elucidate the causes of neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative brain diseases and develop treatments by utilizing stem cell-derived models.
