Project Overview

Rett syndrome (RTT) is a severe neurological disorder that primarily affects girls, occurring in about 1 in 10,000 births. Children with RTT experience developmental challenges, including difficulty with movement, communication, and repetitive behaviors. The condition is mainly caused by mutations in the MECP2 gene, which is essential for brain development…

Project Overview

Rodent models offer an opportunity to understand the computations performed in neural circuits at a much precise scale than using human neuroimaging. We can record from hundreds of identified individual neurons while manipulating neural activity with millisecond precision. These technologies allow us to obtain a much deeper understanding of the…

Project Overview

Depression is one of the most common mental health challenges faced by young people, yet choosing the right treatment remains a process of trial and error. While both therapy and medication can be effective, there are no reliable tests to predict which treatment will work best for each individual. Even…

Project Overview

Brain cancer is rarely curative and urgently needs novel transformative treatments. Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common primary malignant brain tumor in adults. It is also among the most heterogeneous, aggressive, and lethal tumors. Despite maximum treatment, nearly all GBM patients experience tumor regrowth within 7-9 months of diagnosis, and…

Project Overview

Psychedelic drugs, known for their profound effects on perception, are showing promise as rapid and long-lasting treatments for depression. This is especially important given the increasing number of people diagnosed with depression and the high rates of resistance to current treatments. However, scientists must fully understand how these substances work…
