Head:
Bai Lu, Ph.D.
Dr.
Lu received his B.Sc. degree from East China Normal University and his
Ph.D. from Cornell University Medical College, where he studied regulation
of neurotrophin gene expression in the brain with Ira Black. He did his
postdoctoral work at Rockefeller University with Paul Greengard and Mu-ming
Poo on molecular mechanism of synaptic transmission and development, using
the Xenopus neuromuscular synapses as a model system. In 1993, he became
a faculty member at Roche Institute of Molecular Biology, where he began
studying the role of neurotrophins in synapse development and plasticity.
He joined NICHD as an Investigator in 1996. His laboratory investigates
the mechanisms underlying neurotrophic regulation of synapses, and their
functional significance.
