Congrats to Ying on her NSFC Young Scientists Fund (Category C) award!
So proud and excited to see her hard work recognized nationally.

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

If you’re interested in Nlgn and nanoclusters, our recent mini-review (Han et.al. Mol Cells, 2026) is a great resource to explore.

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!

Dr. Ying Han’s co-first-authored paper exploring the role of C1ql1/Bai3 in synaptic connectivity has been accepted in principle by Nature Communications. Congratulations!
