Award for research on neural regulatory networks in baboon epilepsy, involving genetic and transcriptomic studies and development of preclinical therapeutic platforms.
Description
This project focuses on genetic and transcriptomic characterization of epilepsy in baboons, development of in vitro cerebral organoids, and establishing a preclinical platform for therapeutic discovery. The project involves whole genome sequencing, snRNA-Seq, epigenomic and proteomic profiling, neuroimaging, and electroencephalography.
