Lab Leader: Qian Li

Lab Name: Laboratory of Olfactory Physiology and Pathology

Lab Info:Using the mouse olfactory system as a model, Dr. Qian Li’s laboratory studies the molecular mechanisms regulating development of olfactory sensory neuron subpopulations and trascription of expressed olfactory receptor genes. We are also interested in elucidating the function of olfactory sensory neuron subpopulations, and how the olfactory dysfunction impacts emotion and cognition. Our current research projects focus on: 1) the role of epigenetics and 3D genomic structures in regulating the singular olfactory receptor gene choice in olfactory sensory neuron subpopulations. 2) the molecular and structural basis for specific odorant recognition and animal behaviors mediated by distinct olfactory sensory neuron subpopulations. 3) the link between olfactory dysfunction and emotion.
