研究方向展開收合

過去對神經退化及再生現象之探討，因缺乏相關之人類材料，導致了諸多的限制。近來，因細胞再編程技術的進展，因而能直接將人類體細胞於實驗室環境中轉化為誘導式多能性幹細胞(iPSC)，並自其分化為不同種類之細胞以供研究或臨床的應用。結合iPSC，基因編輯與類器官技術，我們的研究目標聚焦於探討大腦退化及再生的機制，並寄望藉此發展可供治療人類神經退化性疾病的新穎策略。我們實驗室長期的研究方向有：(1)以疾病iPSC為基礎來探討non-coding RNA於神經退化性疾病及神經再生的角色與發展治療方法。(2) 以人類pluripotent stem cell為基礎的中樞神經系統類器官體，組合體建構建構工程與組織再生。(3)   發展以iPSC為基礎的免疫及基因治療策略。
