Research summary

Zhefu Que works in neuroscience, with interests spanning neuropharmacology, neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration, ion channel function, neuroplasticity, and autism spectrum disorder research. Recent work includes developing a human blood-brain barrier tissue model to study how lipid nanoparticles (tiny fat-based particles used to deliver drugs or genetic material) move into and through brain tissue. This suggests a focus on tools and models for understanding drug delivery to the brain and related cellular mechanisms.
