Yu-Jui Li 

I completed my bachelor’s degree in biology science at National Changhua University of Education. While I was doing a research project in the Cognitive and Learning Lab, I became curious about the neural mechanism of various cognitive behavior. Then I joined Dr. Shu-Ling Chiu's Lab in ICOB, Academia Sinica as a summer intern, and studied the role of the glutamate receptor mutation in hippocampal neuron morphology and function. Because of the experience, I have been fascinating with the field of neuroscience. Therefore, I join Lien Lab and expect to build a solid foundation of knowledge as well as to improve my research ability.
