Zhang Lab at Peking University

We are a dynamic research group at the Peking University Health Science Center. Our aim is to explore and understand inhibitory circuits of the brain and their roles in brain diseases, including durg addiction, depression, and schizophrenia.

Research

We are grateful for fundings from Peking University, NSFC, and MOST to support our researches.
