About us

Researchers in the Corti Lab are committed to making meaningful contributions to the study and treatment of neurological disorders.

We are a team of neurologists and neuroscientists, using a variety of interdisciplinary tools including stem cells, bioengineering, genetics, transcriptomics, bioinformatics, gene transfer and gene editing.

Our mission is to develop and utilize novel technologies to study and treat neurological diseases.

The Team

The team engages brilliant young scientific minds in a translational approach to the study of neurological diseases. By taking new leads and tools from neuron biology, and testing and applying them to disease models as well as to clinical research, the Corti Lab facilitates the fast transfer of research and preclinical findings to patients in the hope of finding effective therapy.
