McGill | Huang Lab
Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience of Pediatric Brain Disorders
Mission: The Huang lab aims to understand the cellular and molecular pathogenic mechanisms of neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism, epilepsy, and neuropsychiatric conditions, using innovative preclinical models. The ultimate goal is to translate discoveries to personalized solutions using gene and regenerative therapies.
Tools: We leverage CRISPR techniques, novel models of human diseases (induced pluripotent stem cell, neural stem cells, and mouse models), biochemistry, mouse behavioural assays, patch-clamp electrophysiology, single-cell and multiomic approaches, whole brain clearing and imaging, and engineering of novel gene and pharmacological therapies to tackle childhood neuropsychiatric disorders

Affiliations: We are based at the Centre for Research in Neuroscience (CRN) of the Department of Neurology and Neurosurgery at McGill University. Dr. Wei-Hsiang Huang is also a member of the Azrieli Centre for Autism Research (ACAR). Dr. Huang recruits Ph.D. students from the McGill IPN.
