Dr. Qi Yuan is a Professor in the Faculty of Medicine at Memorial University of Newfoundland, specializing in Neurosciences and BioMedical Sciences. He completed his PhD at Memorial University and has held postdoctoral positions at the Riken Brain Science Institute and the University of California at San Diego/Howard Hughes Medical Institute. His research focuses on understanding the mechanisms of learning and memory, particularly how memory disorders like Alzheimer’s disease can impair cognitive functions. The Yuan lab utilizes a combination of novel techniques to explore the processes underlying learning and memory, delving into areas such as the role of the locus coeruleus-norepinephrine system in cognitive functions, the impact of environmental factors on tau pathology, and calcium dysregulation associated with aging and Alzheimer’s disease. The lab is also investigating higher-order memory formation and its implications for conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder.
