معرفی
Dmitry Velmeshev is an Assistant Professor in the Departments of Neurobiology and Biomedical Engineering at Duke University. He focuses on understanding human brain development and neurodevelopmental diseases at the single-cell level, particularly autism. His work integrates genomics, proteomics, and molecular biology to dissect genetic programs and neuronal circuitry.
- Ph.D., University of Miami (2016)
Research interests include neurodevelopmental disorders, single-cell genomics, and molecular mechanisms of autism. Recent studies explore SARS-CoV-2 tropism for astrocytes, LRRK2 kinase activity in Parkinson’s disease, and glial roles in neurodegeneration. His lab employs transcriptomic and proteomic approaches to identify phenotypic modifiers in disease models.
Selected publications highlight applications of single-cell analysis in autism and multiple sclerosis, proteomic mapping in neurodevelopmental models, and inflammation in neurodegenerative disease. No scientific awards or student advisees are mentioned in the provided text.
He teaches courses such as NEUROSCI 494, NEUROSCI 493, NEUROBIO 790S, NEUROBIO 735, CMB 710F, and CMB 710E at Duke University.
