Associate Professor
Jason Stein, PhD (Associate Professor, Genetics and Neuroscience Center) has been awarded a new R01 grant from the National Institutes of Mental Health (NIMH) for his project titled “IBIS-iPSC: Organoid remodeling of cortical surface area hyperexpansion in autism spectrum disorder”.
This project will focus on expanding the number of iPSC lines derived from Infant Brain Imaging Study (IBIS) participants and using this resource to determine the in vivo relevance of cortical organoids and the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying brain overgrowth in autism spectrum disorder.
