Yale University, United States
FFlora Vaccarino is a professor of Neuroscience at Yale University. She leads a multidisciplinary research group studying human brain development and its relationship to neuropsychiatric diseases and diseases of cognitive functions. Using induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC), brain organoids and human brain tissue as modeling systems, as well as classic cell biology, transcriptomics and functional genomics as tools, the Vaccarino lab characterizes gene regulatory mechanisms that control the earliest and most fundamental cell fate decisions in typical and atypical brain development. She is interested in understanding the impact of somatic genomic variation on human development, evolution and diseases of neural function, and is developing tools and resources for using somatic mutations as markers for retrospective lineage tracing in humans.
