Interdisciplinary advances can help us understand the complexity of the brain: Dr. Sergiu Pasca, Assistant Professor of Psych & Behavioral Sciences, and Dr. Hunter Fraser, Associate Professor of Biology, share the progress of their Stanford Bio-X Seed Grant!
Hunter Fraser - Associate Professor of Biology
Bio-X Affiliated Faculty
Dr. Fraser's laboratory study the regulation and evolution of gene expression using a combination of experimental and computational approaches.
Sergiu P. Pasca - Kenneth T. Norris, Jr. Professor of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences, and Bonnie Uytengsu & Family Director of the Stanford Brain Organogenesis Program
Bio-X Affiliated Faculty, Clark Center Faculty
Dr. Sergiu Pasca's lab employs state-of-the-art stem cell biology, genome engineering, imaging and neuroscience approaches to identify the dynamical processes that go awry in neural cells derived from patients with neuropsychiatric disorders, such as autism or schizophrenia, and what should be therapeutically targeted in these conditions.
