Shuying Sun

Shuying Sun is an Associate Professor of Physiology at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, affiliated with the Brain Science Institute. Her laboratory focuses on RNA metabolism dysfunction and RNA-targeting therapy in neurodegenerative diseases. She is based at 725 North Wolfe Street, Baltimore, MD in Hunterian 205.

Education and training details are not explicitly listed, but her current roles include membership in multiple graduate programs: Neuroscience Training Program, Cellular and Molecular Medicine Program, and Biochemistry, Cellular and Molecular Biology Graduate Program, as well as the Pathobiology PhD Program.

Research interests center on the role of RNA processing defects in ALS, FTD, and other neurodegenerative disorders. Her work examines RNA-binding protein pathologies, microsatellite repeat expansion RNAs, and their impacts on protein/RNA homeostasis. The lab seeks to translate molecular findings into biomarkers and therapeutic targets.

No specific grants, awards, or advised students are listed in the provided profile. Her lab's translational focus aims to advance treatment options for neurodegenerative diseases through mechanistic studies of RNA processing pathways.
