معرفی
Shang Mu serves as Assistant Professor of Research in Neuroscience at the Brain and Mind Research Institute, Weill Cornell Medical College since 2022. His work focuses on high-resolution neural circuit mapping using advanced connectomics techniques, particularly in mouse visual cortex and human brain disorders.
His educational background includes:
- Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from University of Florida (2010)
- B.Eng. in Biomedical Engineering from Beijing University, China (2005)
Dr. Mu's research spans connectomics, neural circuit architecture, and computational neuroscience. He investigates synaptic organization, inhibitory specificity, and wiring rules in cortical circuits using electron microscopy and machine learning. His work has significant implications for understanding neurological diseases including stroke and glioblastoma. Key methodologies involve large-scale image analysis, transcriptomic integration, and development of open-source tools for connectome annotation.
Analysis of his 15 most recent publications (2024-2025) reveals a dominant focus on mouse visual cortex connectomics, with emerging work on human brain disorders. Major themes include inhibitory circuit specificity, dendritic morphology mapping, and computational tool development (CAVE, NEURD). His research demonstrates consistent high-impact output in top journals like Nature and Cell, often featuring collaborative, interdisciplinary approaches combining neuroscience, genomics, and computer science.
