Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Naiwen Cui's research investigates the differentiation of monocytes into microglia-like cells within the central nervous system and retina, exploring the role of epigenetic adaptation in this process. This work utilizes single-cell RNA sequencing to observe the dynamic shifts of engrafted peripheral macrophages towards a microglia signature. Cui has also examined the effects of CSF1R inhibition, noting its impact on T-helper cell differentiation independently of microglia depletion. Additionally, Cui's research has involved the development of microfluidic techniques for the enrichment and computational analysis of rare genomic sequences for metagenomic applications. With an h-index of 8 and 834 total citations across 19 publications, Cui is an active researcher in the field.
