Jeh-Ping Liu, PhD - Spinal Cord Development
My laboratory is interested in understanding how different genes control the generation of distinct types of neurons during development.
Using spinal cord as a model system, we are trying to decipher the molecular pathways that control neuronal differentiation. This knowledge will facilitate the development of stem-cell based therapies to replace neurons damaged by trauma or degenerative diseases.
