iPSC-derived sensory neurons

Welcome to the Yu Lab

Our lab focuses on neuroinflammatory mechanisms that underlie pain processing and host responses to tissue injury. With collaborations, we have established a multidisciplinary research team to use molecular, neuroanatomical, pharmacological, behavioral approaches in mice and patient induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) derived disease model to address the clinical challenges.
