Walk With Me: Sergiu Pașca, neuroscientist studying early brain development

Описание: Meet Sergiu Pasca, MD, a neuroscientist at Stanford Medicine whose work explores the biological basis of brain disorders such as autism and schizophrenia. His lab is developing new ways to study the human brain — long considered one of the most difficult organs to access and understand. Discover a favorite “aha” moment from his work — and how he likes to spend his time away from the lab.

Pasca is the Uytengsu Family Director of the Stanford Brain Organogenesis Program at the Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute and the Kenneth T. Norris, Jr. Professor II of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences.
