Interacciones genético-ambientales en los trastornos del neurodesarrollo
Modelos celulares in vitro y ex vivo de rasopatías, tales como células madre pluripotenciales, células madre neurales, cultivos primarios neuronales y cultivos organotípicos de rodajas de hipocampo, para estudiar el neurodesarrollo.
Modelos animales de ratón con mutaciones en las proteínas Ras asociadas a los trastornos de neurodesarrollo (rasopatías) para estudiar la conducta animal relacionada con dichos trastornos, como el desarrollo motor, el comportamiento social y las habilidades cognitivas como la memoria y el aprendizaje.
