- Neuroscience

Nikolaos Mellios
UMass Medical School, Graduate student
I am working on the expression and function of microRNAs in human prefrontal cortex. My project explores the spatiotemporal regulation of miRNAs predicted to target  
Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor during development and maturation of human prefrontal cortex and in psychiatric disease.

- Non-viral delivery

Michele Calos
Stanford University School of Medicine, Associate Professor
My laboratory is developing new methods for gene therapy. We focus on non-viral approaches
that include site-specific integration of the therapeutic gene into the genome. We are using the
integrase enzyme from phage phiC31 to achieve integration into mammalian genomes at a
limited number of sites.
