The Lin Lab studies how glial cells and their networks keep the brain healthy — and what happens when these systems break down in development, aging and inflammation. They are currently investigating how white matter dynamics shape glial function in preclinical models of multiple sclerosis. Combining neuroimaging, digital histopathology and spatial omics to perform cross-species comparisons, the lab aims to uncover the mechanisms that drive myelin damage and repair, paving the way for better diagnosis and treatment of brain disorders.
