About me
I completed my PhD training under the supervision of Prof. Robert Harris at the ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ in 2023. Currently, I am a Swedish Research Council International Postdoctoral Fellow (VetenskapsrÃ¥det) working on an independent research project at the University of California San Francisco, affiliated with Prof. Maja Jagodic at the ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡.
Research
My postdoctoral research investigates the complex interplay between glial cells in the CNS under both physiological and pathological conditions, with a particular focus on the role of primary cilia in mediating cellular function and signal transduction in white matter injury and repair.
Teaching
Supervised four master students for their master's projects:
Timas Shin-Yu Kung (8 months, ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡)
Projects: 1. Microglial reprogramming for neuroinflammatory disorders- 2. Topoisomerase 1
inhibition mitigates microglial activation and neuroinflammation.
Cindy Bay (2 months, Heidelberg University)
Project: Topoisomerase 1 inhibition attenuates neuroinflammation.
Zoë Keasberry (6 months, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam)
Project: Improvement of microglial replacement therapy in severe neurological diseases:
understanding the depletion and repopulation pattern of microglia following CSF1R inhibition.
Yiming Xia (10 months, ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡)
Projection: Transcritptional coregulator in control of microglia function.
