Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT and Harvard University, United States
Ralda Nehme is a principal investigator in the Stanley Center for Psychiatric Research at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, where she also directs the stem cell program. Her research is focused on investigating the genetic, cellular, and molecular mechanisms underlying neurodevelopmental and psychiatric diseases. The Nehme lab uses human stem cell based models, genome editing technologies, and image-based, electrophysiological, and genetics approaches to examine cellular phenotypes linked to human genetic variation. Nehme completed her Ph.D. at Dartmouth College, where she studied neuronal development in C. elegans. She then conducted postdoctoral research at Harvard University, where she became interested in studying complex human traits and disorders, such as psychiatric disease, and developed efficient methods to generate human stem cell-derived neural cells.
