研究方向：老年性痴呆症的发病机制和防治策略的研究

主要学术贡献：（1）基于对老年性痴呆症的系统研究和新发现，在国际上首次提出了老年性痴呆症的神经退行性变涉及主动、有序分子调控的学术思想及“退行性变性死亡”的新概念，揭示了老年性痴呆症神经退行性变的本质。（2）创新建立了脑脊液微量磷酸化骨架蛋白的检测技术，为老年性痴呆症的临床诊断奠定了技术基础。（3）阐述了糖原合酶激酶-3b在tau蛋白过度磷酸化中的关键作用和调节机制，系列研究结果为糖原合酶激酶-3b作为老年性痴呆症药物开发的靶点提供了科学依据。（4）发现磷酸酯酶-2a是使异常tau蛋白去磷酸化的关键磷酸酯酶，建立了相关研究实验模型。发表sci论文100余篇，被正面引用1400余次。相关研究成果提升了我国在ad领域的国际影响力。

科研成果：相关研究结果获教育部自然科学奖一等奖（2项）、中华医学科技奖一等奖、湖北省自然科学奖一等奖，有关tau蛋白的研究结果于2010年获国家自然科学奖二等奖。

科研课题：正在主持nsfc神经环路重大研究计划重点项目、中加合作重点项目、面上项目、美国老年性痴呆协会研究项目、美国nih firca基金等；是获得美国nih firca基金的第一位中国学者、获美国li基金等。
