Biography
The Faiz Lab is interested in uncovering new treatments for brain injury and disease through the understanding of astrocytes! Areas of research include: the establishment of astrocyte heterogeneity in the developing cortex, the roles of astrocytes in the stroke-injured brain and how gut-derived signals can influence their responses, and the direct lineage reprogramming of astrocytes to oligodendrocytes.
