Gizem Sancer is a Postdoctoral Associate in Neuroscience at the Yale School of Medicine, Yale University. Her research focuses on understanding neural circuits underlying sensory processing in Drosophila, particularly visual navigation and olfactory systems. She investigates how neurons process skylight polarization for orientation and odor tracking, combining experimental and computational approaches.
Key research areas include the development of thalamic organoids to model human brain structures and the functional architecture of visual systems. Her work bridges neurobiology, developmental biology, and systems neuroscience, with a focus on interdisciplinary methods like connectomics and organoid engineering.
Recent publications highlight advancements in mapping neuronal wiring diagrams, analyzing olfactory sensory neuron dynamics, and generating thalamic organoids. Collaborators include prominent neuroscientists such as Ferdi Kiral, In-Hyun Park, and James Jeanne. No awards are explicitly listed, but her contributions span multiple high-impact journals including Nature and Cell Stem Cell.
