Mr Arkoprovo Paul

Interests

Arko is studying dendritic spine plasticity in neurons derived from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC). In the latter he is modelling synaptic development in the autistic brain, with a particular interest in activity dependent dendritic plasticity and signalling pathways involved in cytoskeletal rearrangement.
