Yu-Shun Wang

Yu-shun is a PhD student in the IMPRS-SC program. His neuroscience story has been shaped by his masterโ€™s work on Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), where he investigated the role of NRIP in NMJ formation and its potential link to ALS pathogenesis under the guidance of Dr. Show-Li Chen and Dr. Li-Kai Tsai at National Taiwan University. Building on this experience, Yu-shun joined the lab of Dr. Wan-Chen Lin, focusing on the development of optogenetic tools for subcellular control of GABAA receptors at Academia Sinica. Now, Yu-shun is working on developing red-shifted sensors and integrating optogenetics to unravel the complexities of cognitive functions. Outside of the lab, Yu-shun enjoys photography, surfing, scuba diving, and mountain climbing. These activities provide a creative outlet and an opportunity to connect with nature.
