Chinfei Chen

Chinfei Chen is a researcher affiliated with Boston Children's Hospital, Department of Neurology, and associated with the Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Research Center and F.M. Kirby Neurobiology Center. Their research focuses on neural circuit development, synaptic plasticity, and the mechanisms underlying visual system maturation. Key interests include the retinogeniculate synapse, astrocyte-neuron interactions, and neurodevelopmental disorders.

Publications highlight studies on synaptic refinement, cortical feedback regulation, and the impact of sensory experience on neural circuits. Research spans molecular mechanisms of synaptic transmission, genetic models of neurological disorders, and axon regeneration strategies. The work integrates neurobiology, developmental biology, and cellular neuroscience to understand how neural circuits form and adapt.
