Peng Lab

Studying the molecular and cellular mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases

Cutting-Edge Study of Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, and Multiple System Atrophy.

Peng lab focuses on the molecular and cellular mechanisms of alpha-synuclein and tau related neurodegenerative diseases including but not limited to Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease and multiple system atrophy. 

We develop cutting edge disease models and applies powerful genetic, multi-omics, structural and high through-put screen methods to investigate a wide range of topics related to the development and progression of this group of diseases. We are particularly interested in the transmission and conformational diversity of pathological proteins in the central nervous system and the role of neuron-glial interactions in this process.
