Research Summary
Deploying human stem cell models to investigate mechanisms of neurodevelopment and disease.
Research Statement
We are using cutting edge techniques in human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSCs) technology, genome editing and human stem cell models derived from autism patients, to study how aberrant signaling pathways contribute to neuropathology of autism.
