SHEN LAB

Our lab is committed to creating an inclusive environment where people from different backgrounds and experiences can collaborate, contribute, and succeed. We greatly respect and value every individual, actively fostering a culture that is open and equal, supporting each other in our research and everyday life. We believe that diversity is essential to science. We welcome collaboration and effort with diverse groups, especially as these perspectives strengthen our sense of community and may lead to new insights and advancements... Our lab studies fundamental cell biology questions in the nervous system. These questions include how neurons establish polarized cytoskeletal networks during development, how polarized intracellular membrane trafficking gives rise to distinct morphology and function of axon and dendrites, how neurons coordinate intracellular synaptic assembly and extracellular signaling events to form specific synaptic connections at particular subcellular locations, with..
