GDIIST Introduction
The Guangdong Institute of Intelligence
Science and Technology (GDIIST) is a provincial non-profit institution
established in Guangdong Province. It focuses on multidisciplinary research in
cognitive science, artificial intelligence, computer science, information
technology and other fields. GDIIST aims to promote the transformation of
achievements in brain science, bio-medicine, computational intelligence,
information technology and so on.
Group Introduction and Personal
Profile
The research will be pursued in two lines to explore the mechanisms of learning and memory. One line is focused on different types of glutamate receptors and their intricate regulation by several proteins. The other line aims to unveil the functional roles of glycosaminoglycans such as heparan sulfate and chondroitin sulfate in learning and ageing. Transgenic zebrafish and mouse models are utilized along with studies in cultured cells.
Single-cell RNA-seq analyses identify cell populations and genes involved in
long-term memory. Spatial transcriptomic analyses identify key molecules
expressed in the brain regions relevant to learning and memory. Behavioral
memory studies are done using wildtype and genetically modified zebrafish. The
mechanics of Alzheimers disease are investigated using both mouse and zebrafish
as model systems.
Dan Larhammar received his PhD degree in medical science at Uppsala University,
Uppsala, Sweden, in 1984. He then studied neuropeptide Y (NPY), a
multifunctional neuropeptide with strong stimulatory effect on appetite. After
one year as visiting scientist at the Research Institute of Scripps Clinic in
La Jolla, California, his work focused on cloning and molecular pharmacology of
receptors for NPY. His laboratory discovered several NPY receptors. His
research then broadened to exploration of the molecular evolution of eyes in
vertebrates and the origin of rods and cones in the retina. Numerous
neurotransmitters and hormones and their receptors have been investigated with
regard to their evolution in vertebrates. One project concerned the dopamine
receptors involved in Parkinson's disease. Since several years he studies the
molecular mechanisms for learning and long-term memory. Key players in this
machinery are glutamate receptors of the AMPA and NMDA families and several
proteins that regulate or are affected by these.Dan Larhammar was appointed
professor of molecular cell biology in the Faculty of Medicine at Uppsala
University in 1994. He was elected to the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in
2007 and served as president of the Academy 2018-2022. He is a fellow of the
International Science Council and a member of the European Academy. He has a
strong interest in the distinction of science versus pseudoscience and has also
investigated research fraud.
