Research summary
AI-generated

This researcher's recent work centers on the SCN2A gene, a sodium channel implicated in autism and epilepsy, studying how its deficiency affects brain circuits, microglia (immune cells of the brain), synapse formation, and behavior using mouse models and human brain organoids/assembloids. The work spans molecular genetics, gene therapy approaches, and circuit-level neuroscience aimed at understanding and treating neurodevelopmental and seizure disorders. Note that the publication list also includes several unrelated titles (e.g., materials science, cardiology, point-cloud segmentation), suggesting possible mixing of records from different individuals with the same name.
