Overview

John Ngai is affiliated with the University of California, Berkeley in the United States. Their research is primarily situated in the field of Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology, with a strong focus on Molecular Biology, Cognitive Neuroscience, Ophthalmology, Biophysics, and Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience. The work spans a variety of topics including Single-cell and spatial transcriptomics, Cell Image Analysis Techniques, Neural dynamics and brain function, CRISPR and Genetic Engineering, Olfactory and Sensory Function Studies, Gene Regulatory Network Analysis, and studies related to Health, Environment, and Cognitive Aging.

Ngai has published in several notable venues with the highest number of publications appearing in bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), followed by Nature, Neuron, Science Advances, and Cell.

Frequent collaborators include Kelly Street, Davide Risso, Sandrine Dudoit, Hector Roux de Bézieux, and Elizabeth Purdom.

Some of the recent papers authored by Ngai and their colleagues include:

  • Non-neuronal expression of SARS-CoV-2 entry genes in the olfactory system suggests mechanisms underlying COVID-19-associated anosmia (2020, Science Advances)
  • A multimodal cell census and atlas of the mammalian primary motor cortex (2021, Nature)
  • A transcriptomic and epigenomic cell atlas of the mouse primary motor cortex (2021, Nature)
  • The cellular basis of distinct thirst modalities (2020, Nature)
  • BRAIN 2.0: Transforming neuroscience (2022, Cell)

John Ngai was recognized as a Fellow of the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation in 1993.
