معرفی
Kartik Pattabiraman is an Assistant Professor in the Child Study Center and the Department of Neuroscience at Yale School of Medicine, where he also holds affiliations with the Wu Tsai Institute, Interdepartmental Neuroscience Program, and Janeway Society.
Education:
- Ph.D. in Neuroscience, University of California, San Francisco (2016)
- M.D., University of California, San Francisco (2016)
- Sc.B. in Neuroscience, Brown University (2007)
His research focuses on the molecular and cellular mechanisms governing cerebral cortex development, particularly how gene regulatory networks and evolutionary changes contribute to neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and schizophrenia. His work integrates developmental neurobiology, genomics, and translational psychiatry to understand circuit-level disruptions in developmental disabilities.
His recent publications highlight advanced research on prefrontal cortex development, transcriptome-connectome dynamics, and the role of retinoic acid and CBLN2 in neural patterning and spinogenesis. These studies, often published in top-tier journals like Nature and PNAS, reflect a strong emphasis on human-specific brain evolution and disease mechanisms.
Scientific Awards:
