- Hosted by Edward Perez-Reyes, Alex Shceglovitov, PhD, is an Assistand Professor of Neurobiology at the University of Utah.
In the Shcheglovitov lab, our research is focused on understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms of human cortical development under both normal and pathological conditions. To do this, we use a combination of patient-derived and CRISPR-engineered induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). We produce iPSCs from easily accessible cells, such as blood or skin, that are acquired from both healthy control individuals and patients with genetic disorders. We then differentiate iPSCs into cortical neurons or three-dimensional human brain structures called ‘organoids’ in order to probe genetic abnormalities and the underlying molecular mechanisms. Using a combination of molecular biology, biochemistry, imaging, and electrophysiology techniques, we work to better understand the mechanisms underlying human-specific features of cortex development and neurodevelopmental pathologies. The ultimate goal of our research is to discover new therapies for patients with currently incurable brain disorders such as autism and drug-resistant pediatric epilepsy.
