RESEARCH DESCRIPTION:
My lab is generally interested in the molecular mechanisms by which genetic variation affects neurodevelopment. We use classic mouse models to study the molecular and cellular consequences of highly penetrant rare variants, and libraries of human iPSCs to study how common genetic variation shapes molecular, cellular, and patient outcomes in autism.
