课题组简介
研究方向包括：1）开发遗传和病毒工具，精准操控脑室及脊髓中央管周围的特定细胞类型；2）通过转录组学、电生理学、成像和药理学手段，解析这些区域的细胞和分子信号通路，并研究它们在生理、病理和损伤反应中的功能。
The Lab of Dr. Wendy Yue is seeking postdoctoral fellows to join the newly established team at the University of California, San Francisco. Affiliated with the Department of Physiology and the Neuroscience Graduate Program, our research investigates the complex interactions between neural tissues and bodily fluids. We focus on regions surrounding the brain's ventricles, where the unique absence of a typical blood-brain barrier facilitates direct chemical exchanges between the brain, bloodstream, and cerebrospinal fluid. Our objective is to understand how cells at these critical interfaces regulate signals like hormones and metabolites and to uncover their contribution to neurological disorders.
Our research goals include:
1. Developing precise genetic and viral tools to target specific cell types in the areas around the brain's ventricles and central canal.
2. Deciphering cellular and molecular pathways using advanced techniques in transcriptomics, electrophysiology, imaging, and pharmacology to understand their roles in physiology, pathology, and response to injury.

课题组负责人简介
Dr. Wendy Yue completed her undergraduate studies in Biochemistry at the University of Hong Kong and pursued her PhD at Johns Hopkins University under Dr. King-Wai Yau, focusing on the biophysics of phototransduction, the initial step in vision. There, she explored how retinal photoreceptors regulate signal amplification and spontaneous activity to achieve high sensitivity and low biological noise. After her PhD, Dr. Yue joined Dr. David Julius’s lab at UCSF to further investigate sensory signaling and its disease implications. She elucidated how drugs targeting the TRPV1 ion channel, involved in various pain conditions, affect body temperature, which aids in developing analgesics without thermoregulatory side effects. Additionally, she discovered an opioid signaling pathway that regulates scar formation after spinal cord injuries, providing a basis for new therapeutic strategies. Dr. Yue has received several prestigious awards, including the Hanna H. Gray Fellowship from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship from the Croucher Foundation, recognizing both her research and community involvement.
