Long-Jun Wu, Ph.D.

Dr. Long-Jun Wu’s research is focused on neuroimmune interactions, particularly microglia function, in health and disease. His team employs genetic animal models along with a combination of advanced tools such as two-photon imaging, electrophysiology and awake-behavioral studies. The long-term vision of Dr Wu’s research is to identify and manipulate microglia-specific therapeutic targets that will complement existing treatment of neurological disorders, including epilepsy, pain, stroke, neurodegeneration and autoimmune diseases.
