We are excited and proud to share that the super talented @maheandria.bsky.social will be starting her own lab as an assistant professor and group leader at @neuropsi.bsky.social this fall 🥳🍾
The Hassan Brain Development Team
@hassanbraindevlab.bsky.social
We study the genetic control and molecular regulation of brain development - and a little bit of function - in fly, mouse and human stem cell models

Excited to share our latest paper in Nature Communications! We uncovered a dev-time transcriptional program (via Mirana → Pink1) that shapes mitochondria & circuit wiring. Disrupt it early, and neurons miswire — even if the gene recovers later!
