VUE LAB RESEARCH

Glial cells, which comprised of astrocytes and oligodendrocytes, are highly proliferative and constitute the majority of the cells in the central nervous system (CNS). Research in the Vue Lab aims to understand the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the development and heterogeneity of glial cells under normal development and in disease states and cancer.

Research Programs

  • Glial Development – Mechanisms of glial cell fate specification, proliferation, migration and differentiation; heterogeneity and function of astrocytes and oligodendrocytes in gray matter and white matter of the CNS; affects of prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE).

  • Glioma Development – Mechanisms of brain tumor formation and progression in mouse models of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM).
