    Interests

    My research focuses on the tubulinopathies, a spectrum of severe neurological disorders caused by mutations in tubulin genes. To investigate the mechanisms of disease, I am using tubulinopathy patient-derived stem cells to generate 2D neuronal cultures and 3D cerebral organoids.

    Cerebral Organoids

    Cerebral Organoids derived from patient and CRISPR/Cas9-repaired wild-type control iPSCs.
