معرفی
Wendy Wenderski is a postdoctoral fellow at Stanford University, affiliated with the Deisseroth lab. She investigates chromatin regulation mechanisms in brain function, particularly their roles in social behavior, neurological disorders like autism and Down syndrome, and neurodevelopmental processes.
- PhD in Developmental Biology (2022), Stanford University
- MA in Biology (2014), Hunter College
- B.S. in Biology (2007), UC Santa Barbara
- Former research assistant at The Rockefeller University
Her research integrates molecular biology and neuroscience to explore how chromatin remodeling influences neuronal activity, memory, and disease states. Key techniques include genetic modeling, epigenetic analysis, and chemical biology approaches.
Recent publications highlight her work on chromatin remodelers (e.g., BAF complex, ACTL6B), histone dynamics, and their links to autism spectrum disorder, Down syndrome, and synaptic plasticity. These studies span epigenetic regulation, gene expression modulation, and neurodevelopmental interventions.
