The Zeng Lab investigates the causes of neuron death, especially in relation to aberrant RNA processing, in diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). They combine human genetics, RNA science, disease modeling, stem cell biology, and technology development across multiple scales with the goal of discovering interventions that could stop neurodegeneration and improve patient quality of life.
