The Wolter Lab studies how genetic variation – common and rare – affects risk and resilience to neurodevelopmental disorders
We use genetic, molecular, cellular, and bioinformatics techniques to understand causal disease mechanisms, and, along the way, learn about how the brain develops. We employ a range of experimental systems, from genetically diverse human cell lines, mouse models, and human clinical data.
We are always looking for passionate, curious thinkers who are interested in neurogenetics. Please contact us if you are interested in learning more about what we do, or want to join the lab!
