The project aims to build a multi-omics atlas for the genome, epigenome, transcriptome, proteome, and metabolome. We will study the etiology of multiple brain-related disorders, mainly including Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Parkinson’s disease (PD), cerebrovascular disease (CVD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), schizophrenia (SCZ). The logo in the upper right corner is composed of a Chinese knot and a DNA double helix structure, which resemble the shapes of brain tissue and blood vessels. Chinese knots are more than just handicrafts; they also symbolics of traditional Chinese culture, representing people’s wishes for happiness, safety, health, longevity, and love.
