In the Laboratory of Neural Stem Cell Biology, we study how various cells that make up the human brain are generated and regulated through intricate gene expression programs using stem cells and brain organoid models.
Additionally, we aim to elucidate the causes of neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative brain diseases and develop treatments by utilizing stem cell-derived models.
