Research summary

Kyle Wettschurack's research centers on neuroscience, particularly using stem-cell-derived brain models (assembloids) to study neurons and immune cells (microglia) in the brain, including how genetic mutations like those in the SCN2A gene affect neural excitability. Earlier work touched on genome editing techniques, developmental toxicology, and biochemical characterization of proteins in fungi, suggesting a background spanning molecular biology tools before focusing on brain-related research.
