Congratulations to Wen on her first-author paper being accepted in Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters! She developed a photocaged GPR52 agonist that stays inert until light releases the active ligand, enabling precise temporal control over receptor activation in cells.
Great collaboration with Dr. Bichu Cheng lab.

Exciting news! Our first GPCR deorphanization project is a big success!
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.
