السيرة الذاتية

Dr. Lawrence Stanton joined QBRI in 2019 with more than 30 years of research experience in industry and academia. His research is focused on dissecting the molecular pathways that underly neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism. After earning a PhD in biochemistry at Stony Brook University (USA), he completed a post-doctoral fellowship in cancer biology at University of California San Francisco (USA) under the guidance of Nobel Laureate, Dr. Michael Bishop.

At QBRI the Stanton lab is generating induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) from patients with neurodevelopmental disorders. These patient-specific iPSC are converted into neural cell types and organoids, thus providing an opportunity to understand the molecular pathology of diseases such as autism and establishing a foundation for the development of diagnostics and therapeutics to treat patients with neurodevelopmental disorders.
