Dr. Bing Ye

Biography

Bing Ye is the Burton L. Baker Collegiate Professor in the Department of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology at the University of Michigan. He holds a dual role as a Research Associate Dean at the U-M Life Sciences Institute and as a Professor at the U-M Medical School. His research focuses on neuronal development, addressing how defects in the assembly and function of the nervous system can lead to brain disorders. Ye's work encompasses a broad interest in neuroscience, including the development of neurons, the formation of distinct subcellular compartments, and the building of neural networks. He employs a multidisciplinary approach to investigate the role of disregulated gene expression in brain disorders, integrating genetics, cell biology, developmental biology, biochemistry, and advanced imaging techniques to study neuronal structures and activities. He also incorporates computational methods such as machine learning and computer vision in his research, along with behavioral studies to understand how experiences shape neural networks.
