Research summary
AI-generated

Zongyue Cheng's work uses advanced imaging methods (such as fluorescence microscopy and other optical techniques) to study brain cells and circuits, including how microglia (immune cells in the brain) interact with neurons, and how early-life stress and specific genes affect brain structure and function. This research spans molecular biology, neuroscience, and imaging technology development.
