José-Manuel Baizabal studies how the brain develops at the molecular level, focusing on the chemical marks on DNA and its packaging proteins (epigenetics) that control how neural stem cells turn into different types of neurons. A recurring focus is the gene regulator PRDM16 and how it shapes the formation of the cerebral cortex and its neurons. The work combines developmental neuroscience with tools for manipulating the neuronal epigenome.
