Da MI

Da MI is a Faculty member in the School of Life Sciences at Tsinghua University. Their research focuses on the cerebral cortex, specifically the mechanisms regulating initial cell fate decisions and neuronal diversification during brain development. They combine single-cell multi-omics techniques with neuroanatomical, cell biological, molecular biological, genetic, and transgenic methods to study neuronal diversity in rodents, non-human primates, and humans. Their work also explores the role of cellular heterogeneity in neurodevelopmental disorders and the functions of disease susceptibility genes in cortical development. Da MI has published in prominent journals such as Cell Discovery, Neuron, and Science, and has received awards including the IBRO World Congress Travel Grant and the Guarantors of Brain Travel Award.

Da Mi is a developmental neurobiologist at the School of Life Sciences, Tsinghua University, specializing in the development and functional diversification of cortical interneurons. Their research explores the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying neurogenesis, particularly focusing on the role of transcription factors like Pax6 in regulating cortical progenitor proliferation and differentiation. Da Mi's work also investigates the evolutionary aspects of primate brain development, including the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, and the genetic basis of neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism spectrum disorder. Their studies integrate single-cell and single-nuclei RNA sequencing to uncover lineage development and spatial organization in the human fetal brain.
