معرفی
Yifei Cai is an Associate Research Scientist in the Department of Neurology at Yale School of Medicine, Yale University. Their research focuses on neurodegenerative diseases, particularly Alzheimer’s disease, leveraging proteomics, induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) modeling, and spatial imaging techniques to uncover disease mechanisms. Cai’s work addresses axonal pathology, myelin-axon interface vulnerabilities, and therapeutic targets. They have contributed to understanding schizophrenia-related phenotypes in genetic mouse models and the role of microRNAs in neurodegenerative disorders.
Research interests include Alzheimer’s disease mechanisms, proteomics applications in neuroscience, iPSC-based disease modeling, and RNA regulation in neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative processes. Their recent studies highlight advancements in reversing axonal pathologies and identifying molecular pathways critical to disease progression. Collaborations span interdisciplinary approaches, integrating computational methods with experimental biology.
Publications since 2013 reflect a trajectory from bioinformatics applications in genetics to specialized neurodegenerative research. No awards or grants are explicitly listed, though their research aligns with major themes in neurology and translational medicine.
