Shong Lau
Postdoctoral Fellow
I received my PhD degree from CUHK, Hong Kong. My major interest of research is molecular machinery in Parkinson’s disease with cell reprogramming techniques such as iPSC and direct reprogramming from fibroblast to functional neuron (iN). With this technology I would like to identify the relationship of aging and Parkinsonism and why dopaminergic neurons are particularly vulnerable in Parkinson patients.
Sarah Parylak
Staff Scientist
I studied Biology as an undergraduate at Duke before pursuing my PhD in the Neurosciences Graduate Program at UCSD, working in the lab of Dr. Eric Zorrilla. I joined the Gage lab in 2012 as a staff researcher specializing in behavioral neuroscience. I’m interested in the connection between outward behavior and its underlying neural circuits, with a particular focus on hippocampus-dependent memory.
Meiyan Wang
Postdoctoral Fellow
Meiyan received her PhD from the University of California San Diego. In her graduate work, she studied DNA damage in the genomes of neural progenitor cells and its link with neuropsychiatric disorders. She is currently a postdoctoral fellow in the Gage lab and works on understanding neuroinflammatory processes using brain organoid models.
