Paternal effects on mammalian brain development
We investigate how molecular mechanisms of mammalian brain development and paternal factors contribute to neurodevelopmental disorders like autism. Our research focuses on: 1) mRNA transport during corticogenesis, 2) epigenetic inheritance via spermatogenesis, and 3) paternal regulation of imprinted gene expression.
