Research Interests

(1) Deciphering key modulators responsible for cytoskeleton dynamics during neuronal development and neurodevelopmental disorders; 

(2) Elucidating the regulation of cytoskeleton dynamics by several extracellular signaling pathways during synapse formation, elimination, and plasticity at the early stage of neurodegenerative diseases.
