Mei Zhen
PhD
Mei Zhen is a senior scientist at the Tanenbaum-Lunenfeld Research Institute, professor of Physiology at the University of Toronto, and a co-director of the Nanoscale Biomedical Imaging Facility at the Sickkids Hospital. She studies how neural circuits coordinate structural and functional maturation to drive behaviors. Her group addresses these questions in C. elegans and mouse models. Applying advanced molecular, electrophysiology, imaging and computational analyses, she searches for the common principles that underlie stable motor functions.
My group studies how neural circuits coordinate structural and functional maturation to drive stable motor functions. We address these questions in C. elegans and mouse models. Contact us if you are curious about how stable yet adaptive motor functions are achieved.
