Han-Hsuan is a neuroscientist passionate about basic science and enthusiastic to apply our findings to translational medicines and benefit patients and the whole society. She earned a B.S. degree in Life Science and completed her Ph.D. training in Dr. Hollis Cline's lab at the Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) in La Jolla, California, USA. Before joining the Center for Neuropsychiatric Research at the National Health Research Institutes in 2023, she was a postdoc working in Dr. Yuh-Nung Jan's lab at UCSF. Her long-term goal is to provide fundamental insights into the field of neurodegeneration and aging with the hope of preventing neurodegeneration, improving the diagnosis of neurodegeneration, and developing drugs promoting neural recovery from injury and diseases.

We have 3 talented research assistants and one co-mentored student (primarily based in Dr. Eric Hwang's lab at NYCU) in our lab. Each person is leading 1-2 projects and shares their expertise to help each other. We combine a variety of novel approaches to search for candidate genes regulating dendrite degeneration and repair during neurodegeneration. Our long-term goal is to provide fundamental insights into the field of neurodegeneration and aging which can guide us to design strategies to prevent neurodegeneration, diagnose neurodegeneration early, and promote neural recovery from injury and diseases.
