Jessica Mariani is a Researcher in the Department of Psychiatry at Yale University School of Medicine, with a focus on neurodevelopmental disorders. Her work utilizes induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and organoid models to study autism spectrum disorders, Tourette Syndrome, and other neurological conditions. Key contributions include characterizing somatic mosaicism in neurons and elucidating mechanisms underlying neuronal subtype imbalances in neurodevelopmental disorders.
