At The Neuro, Zhou and his lab members aim to deepen the understanding of Autism and severe forms of Neurodevelopmental Disorders (NDDs), including intellectual disabilities and epilepsy. Learning from clinical and genetic discoveries, his group applies experimental models to characterize gene mutations associated with NDDs. Through extensive collaboration, his group carries out research utilizing molecular, genetic, genomic, and neurobiological approaches. They work on (1) uncovering the function of risk genes in developmental and adult brains, (2) identifying novel mechanisms/pathophysiology underlying NDDs, and (3) correcting mutated genes and examining the reversibility of impaired neural and behavioral functions. The ultimate goal of his group is to provide findings and knowledge that may accelerate the development of therapies for affected individuals.聽聽
