Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience of Neurodevelopmental Disorders

​Mission: The Huang lab aims to understand the molecular neurobiology of neurodevelopmental disorders including autism, epilepsy, and neuropsychiatric disorders with an ultimate goal to translate discoveries to innovative therapeutic solutions.

Tools: We specialize in leveraging CRISPR techniques, induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) models, biochemistry, mouse genetics and behavioural assays, patch-clamp electrophysiology, single-cell neurobiology, whole brain clearing and imaging, and gene and pharmacological therapies to tackle childhood brain disorders​

Affiliations: We are based at the Centre for Research in Neuroscience (CRN), Department of Neurology and Neurosurgery at McGill University. Dr. Wei-Hsiang Huang is also a member of the Brain Repair and Integrative Neuroscience Program (BRaIN) at the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre (RI-MUHC), as well as the Azrieli Centre for Autism Research (ACAR). Dr. Huang recruits Ph.D. students from the McGill IPN.

Our lab is located at the Montreal General Hospital, within the heart of downtown Montreal, right next to Mt. Royal park with a lot of natural green space!
