Our Science Initiatives
At the forefront of biomedical innovation, our stem cell research spans three key areas:
Disease Research:
We investigate how diseases develop at the cellular level, using stem cells to model conditions, explore disease mechanisms, and develop new therapies.
Developmental Biology:
By studying how stem cells contribute to human development, we gain critical insights into the processes that guide cell growth and differentiation.
Regenerative Medicine:
Harnessing the power of stem cells, we aim to repair or replace damaged tissues and organs—paving the way for transformative treatments.

We study spatiotemporal patterns of neuronal activity that are generated in the brain. We develop advanced optical techniques for recording neuronal activity in a variety of experimental models to understand how network firing codes for information, is shaped through learning, and becomes altered in diseases of the nervous system.
