Helen Wills Neuroscience Institute
Director, John Ngai

The Ngai Lab focuses on the molecular mechanisms underlying the development and function of the vertebrate olfactory system using molecular, genomic, computational and behavioral approaches. The Ngai Lab is also leveraging high-throughput genomic and genome engineering techniques. Ngai Lab aims to make significant discoveries on the molecules, cells and circuits underlying the development, regeneration and function of the nervous system during normal processes and disease.
