معرفی
Victor Luria is a Research Scientist in the Department of Neuroscience at Yale School of Medicine. His work focuses on the intersection of genetics, biophysics, and neuroscience, particularly how new genes emerge in evolution to generate novel protein structures and functions in the brain. He combines mathematical modeling, computational biophysics algorithms, and neurogenetics experiments to explore evolutionary changes in primate and human brains.
- PhD in Genetics & Neuroscience from Columbia University
- Postdoctoral Fellow at Columbia University (2012)
- Research Fellow at Harvard Medical School (2020)
Luria's recent publications highlight his contributions to understanding noncanonical genes in cancer cell survival, brain N-glycome evolution, and developmental mechanisms of cortical connectivity. His research spans comparative genomics (e.g., whale shark genome scaling), Drosophila climate adaptation, and pharmacological interventions for depression-like behavior.
Key collaborations include Nenad Sestan, Angus Nairn, Kartik Pattabiraman, Nicola Micali, and Shveta Bathla. His work often integrates interdisciplinary approaches across systems neuroscience, computational biology, and translational medicine.
