    Welcome to the Lu Chen Lab

    The long-term goal of our research is to understand the cellular and molecular mechanisms that underlie synapse function during behavior in the developing and mature brain, and how synapse function is altered during mental retardation. In this broad research area, we are specifically interested in the molecular underpinnings of activity-dependent regulation of synaptic strength, the role of postsynaptic protein translation in plastic changes of synaptic activity, and the impairment of synapses in autism spectrum disorders (e.g. Fragile X syndrome) that involves changes in postsynaptic protein translation and synaptic strength. 

    Some of our current research focuses include:

    1. Synaptic signaling mechanisms of RA - dissecting the molecular pathways for synaptic RA signaling, understanding the role of RA in the mature brain in mediating homeostatic and potentially other forms of synaptic plasticity, and exploring the function of RA in animal learning and behavior.
    2. Synaptic dysfunction in Fragile-X Syndrome - understanding the role of Fragile-X mental retardation protein in synaptic RA signaling, and studying synaptic functions in neurons derived

      Wafik El-Deiry, MD, PhD, FACP is Associate Dean for Oncologic Sciences at the Warren Alpert Medical School, Director, Cancer Center at Brown University, and Director of the Joint Program in Cancer Biology at Brown and Lifespan. He is a Professor of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Professor of Medical Science, and Mencoff Family University Professor at Brown. He sees patients in his weekly clinic at Rhode Island Hospital focused on care of patients with colorectal cancer and participates in clinical trials based on his laboratory’s research on novel therapeutics. He previously served as Deputy Director for Translational Research, co-Leader of the Molecular Therapeutics Program, Professor of Oncology, and the William Wikoff Smith Endowed Chair in Cancer Research at Fox Chase Cancer Center. From through Dr El-Deiry was the Rose Dunlap Professor of Medicine and Chief of Hematology-Oncology at Penn State. In , El-Deiry became an American Cancer Society Research Professor.
