Cheng-Yu Lee uses neural stem cells from the fruit fly Drosophila to study the process of cell self-renewal versus differentiation. By using a combined genetic, biochemical, and genomic approach, Lee wants to understand the specific mechanism of neural stem cells, with implications for human degenerative diseases like Parkinson's.

We study the mechanisms of neural stem cell self-renewal and differentiation, which have implications for neurological disorders and cancer.Whether through symmetric or asymmetric cell division, stem cell progeny must choose between assuming a stem cell identity by remaining undifferentiated or adopting a progenitor cell identity by committing to differentiate. To successfully adopt a ...

The Lee lab uses both invertebrate and vertebrate model systems to study neuronal lineage development and fating mechanisms. Ultimately, we aim to tailor neuronal lineages to engineer neural networks with desired functions and to improve cell therapy for …

The LSI’s newest faculty member is studying how the brain controls rhythmic breathing — and how these same circuits might be recruited to help fight conditions such as sleep apnea and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).

During his training in hematology and a year on the faculty at Harvard in hematology/oncology, David Ginsburg started to ask fundamental questions about how the blood clotting system works, especially how it works in humans. At Michigan, Ginsburg’s career has been distinguished in both clinical practice and basic research. As a physician, Ginsburg is …
