Research Expertise and Interest
postmitotic genome, therapeutic macromolecule delivery, human neuroscience

Research Description
The Hsu Lab aims to understand and manipulate the genetic circuits that control brain and immune cell function to improve human health. They?explore the rich biological diversity of nature to create new molecular technologies, perturb complex cellular processes at scale, and develop next-generation gene and cell therapies. To do this, their group draws from a palette of experimental and computational techniques including CRISPR-Cas systems, single cell genomics, engineered viruses, brain organoids, and pooled genetic screens.?
Current interests include 1) inventing novel approaches for editing the postmitotic genome, 2) developing engineered vehicles for therapeutic macromolecule delivery, and 3) leveraging library screens and brain organoids to interrogate human neuroscience at scale.
