Congratulations to Dr. Ying Han on her first-author paper being accepted by Science Advances! The study identifies the GPR88/C1ql1/Bai3 complex and reveals its essential function in synaptic regulation and associative learning. A great milestone for the lab and hopefully for the community!
Our labmate Dr. Ying Han got her NSFC Young Scientists Fund (Category C) award!
Congrats to Ying on her NSFC Young Scientists Fund (Category C) award!
So proud and excited to see her hard work recognized nationally.
Our collaboration investigating Shank3 mutations on olfactory valence is online!
Congratulations to Mingyu! Her co-first-authored paper, which investigates the circuit and synaptic mechanisms underlying olfactory valence deficits in ASD-associated Shank3 mutations, is online (Science Advances).
SHANK3 mutations disrupt olfactory valence coding across species, with cortical amygdala mechanisms identified in mice
Our mini-review is online
If you’re interested in Nlgn and nanoclusters, our recent mini-review (Han et.al. Mol Cells, 2026) is a great resource to explore.

SD Fun: SFN-2025 and Synapse Symposium
SFN-2025 was great, but the Synapse Symposium is even better! Both Dr. Ying Han and Dr. Xiankun Wang got the travel award!
We also visited Prof. Justin Trotter at UCSD and had a great seminar there!
