The Feng laboratory focuses on the development of synapses and circuitry and their disruption in brain disorders. Using molecular genetics combined with behavioral and electrophysiological methods, the lab seeks to understand how disruptions in these components can contribute to psychiatric disorders. We hope that understanding the molecular, cellular, and circuitry underpinnings of behaviors and psychiatric disorders will eventually lead to the development of novel, effective treatments.

Diversity and Inclusion
Our lab is committed to creating a diverse, welcoming, and collaborative environment inclusive to all its members. We strive to create an environment that embraces diversity in all its forms, including race, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, beliefs, socioeconomic status, political affiliation, and citizenship. We value diversity as an essential element of scientific achievement and are therefore dedicated to maintaining a supportive environment inclusive to all.
