Research Interests
Stem cells as a model of neurogenesis and mental health disorders. Our prior work on microRNAs and transcription factors regulated during neurogenesis has now evolved into the preparation of induced pluripotent cell cultures from specific human disorders to identify mechanisms of neuronal discorders. In general, we plan to collaborate with colleagues studying addiction, schizophrenia, autism, prenatal hypoxia, and developmental neurotoxicity.
