Bassem Hassan's team focuses on understanding the genetic mechanisms that regulate the early development of the nervous system from cell fate specification to neural circuit formation, to mechanisms of neural disease using Drosophila fruit flies as a model.
Bassem Hassan's team will work on 2 major topics. First, the relationship between individuality in brain wiring and individual behavioral tendencies. Second, the molecular mechanisms that drive neural stem cells towards differentiation.
