Personal Profile

Lan Zhaohui is an Assistant Researcher and Master's Supervisor at Golbal Institute of Future Technology, Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Primary research focuses on: 1) the mechanisms of memory storage, investigating the neural circuits which are responsible for memory formation and storage in the brain using electrophysiology and optogenetics manipulate specific neuronal activity, elucidating the neurobiological mechanisms of memory encoding and consolidation; 2) the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases, exploring the underlying mechanisms of these diseases through animal models and cellular experiments to reveal key molecular events during disease progression. we also develops brain modulation devices to explore novel therapeutic approaches for neurodegenerative diseases; 3) the development of novel drug delivery systems, designing targeted and biocompatible delivery carriers to enhance drug accumulation and targeting in the central nervous system. We has applied for over ten patents, with six granted, covering areas such as brain-machine interfaces and brain modulation. We published more than ten papers as the first or corresponding author in SCI journals including Ann. Neuro. (2024), Neuropathol Appl Neurobiol. (2024), Cell Rep. (2022), Transl. Res. (2023), and Gen. Comp. Endocrinol. (2021). We also has hosted and participated in numerous national and provincial research projects.
