Cellular genetics of disease

We are interested in cellular genetics and the cellular basis of developmental and other brain-related disorders. We use human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) as models, and combine computational and experimental methods to study how genetic variation causes variability in cell phenotypes and contributes to differential susceptibility to diseases, both common and rare.
