Exploring How Neurons Talk Each Other
SYNAPTIC COMMUNICATION LABORATORY
Our research aims to understand the concepts and mechanisms which underlie the complexities of the Brain. We use state-of-the-art technologies to explore how neurons connect and communicate with each other, how this connection
and communication are altered in neural diseases.

NEURAL COMMUNICATION AND ITS REGULATION AT SYNAPSES
.
We are interested in studying the Neuron and Synapses
which shape and guide the processes of the Brain.
Our long-term goal is to understand the underlying mechanism
of How neurons communicate with each other through Synapses.
Our major questions in research
-
How do neurons are connected in networks?
-
How do they communicate with each other once connected?
-
How do neural diseases alter this basic functionality?
OPTO-PHYSIOLOGY
.
Live-cell trace for synaptic physiology
Synaptic vesicle fusion and retrieval using a pHluorin-based assay, Calcium sensor, and other fluorescence sensors combined with a high-fidelity custom-built microscope system
HIGH FIDELITY LIVE IMAGING
.
To monitor synaptic physiology with high accuracy,
We utilize a custom-built laser illuminating imaging system.
It leads us to observe various synaptic events from a single synaptic vesicle at the millisecond scale.
