Conte Center Posters at the 2025 Stanley Center Symposium

Center trainees and investigators attended the 2025 Symposium held by the Stanley Center for Psychiatric Research at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard. Drs. Jordan Doman, Kevin Mastro, and Nader Morshed, and research technician Elena Kelly presented their latest progress on their groundbreaking projects regarding a CRISPR screen to assess the impact of neuropsychiatric and neurodevelopmental risk genes on induced human microglial function, how age dependent maturation drives behavioral and learning circuits across mice, marmosets, and humans, development of a human astrocyte and neuron co-culture model, and how a schizophrenia risk gene impacts neuron-glia interactions in cell culture. They all did a wonderful job, and we look forward to publishing these findings in the future. Congratulations to all our trainees for this opportunity to present their work!
