معرفی
Dr. Adelaine Leung is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Veterinary Biomedical Sciences at the University of Saskatchewan. Her research focuses on the neurobiology of animal behavior and molecular mechanisms underlying human behavioral disorders.
- Key Affiliation: University of Saskatchewan, Department of Veterinary Biomedical Sciences
Research Interests:
• Elucidating neural circuits regulating reproductive behavior in Drosophila melanogaster
• Investigating molecular links between psychiatric disorder-related proteins and neural circuit function
• Structural analysis of spliceosomal snRNPs and kinase-inhibitory peptides
Publications (2022–2011):
• 3 recent studies on Drosophila copulation behavior mechanisms (2022–2014)
• 4 structural biology papers on spliceosomal complexes and protein kinases (2011–2020)
• Research spans neurogenetics, RNA biochemistry, and psychiatric molecular biology
Laboratory Focus:
The Leung Laboratory integrates neurobiological and molecular approaches to study behavior regulation in Drosophila while exploring implications for human psychiatric disorders through mechanistic parallels.
