Lab Life Video Series: Song Laboratory
Published on
· Last Updated 2 weeks 2 days ago
The talented scientists in the lab of Dr. Yuanquan Song aim to elucidate the cellular and molecular basis that governs the formation, maintenance, and function of neural circuits under physiological and pathological conditions. Their work helps to shed light on physiological questions in neurobiology, neurological diseases, and tumorigenesis.

Yuanquan Song, PhD
My lab sits right in the intersection of neurodevelopment, neurodegeneration, and regeneration.

Jung
As important as the actual research is, I think it's just as important to be in an environment where you feel welcomed and included. And I think that's really the case with our lab.
