Dr. Zhuzhu Zhang's research focuses on understanding the epigenomic gene regulatory mechanisms that shape brain function, including normal postnatal development and response to environmental challenges, such as exposure to substances of abuse. The lab aims to uncover the molecular changes that influence brain maturation, neural circuitry complexity, and maladaptive plasticity, with a particular emphasis on the dynamic regulation of gene expression at the cell-type level. The lab utilizes cutting-edge genomics and neuroscience methodologies to investigate these critical processes in the context of addiction and stress.
