Research

How neurons are specified during development and how they connect to each other to shape thoughts and behaviour are fascinating questions in neuroscience. The overall aim of our research is to understand the mechanisms that govern the development of the nervous system in physiological and pathological conditions, using a combination of molecular, cellular, and genetic approaches. Our studies emphasize in the role of Planar Cell Polarity (PCP) genes and cytoskeletal associated proteins such as the formin protein DIAPH3 and the microtubule binding protein KIF2A, in brain development and diseases. We uncovered key functions for these proteins in cell division, polarity, migration, and axon guidance; and linked their dysfunctions to several neurological disorders such as microcephaly, epilepsy, autism, and primary brain tumours.
