I can’t emphasize enough how grateful I am for my postdoc mentor, Dr. Huda Zoghbi, and my PhD advisor, Dr. Leonard Petrucelli, for their immense guidance and support during my time in their labs. I hope I can pay it forward by nurturing the next generation of scientists.

Our lab will explore how to protect our brain from the abnormal protein aggregation (like tau!) and related pathology in hopes of finding creative and effective ways to combat neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s disease 🧠 dcchunglab.com

Announcing an official fundraising campaign to support my lab’s research on APOE4 and Alzheimer’s disease: joinus.cuimc.columbia.edu/participant/.... This campaign is itself an experiment of sorts. But mostly, it's an attempt to save my lab during an unprecedented time of turmoil in academia. 1/9
