Schmidt Laboratory

We study how human-specific genes (HSGs) modify brain development and function, and how HSGs play a role in disease by altering the phenotypic expression of neurodevelopmental disorders. Our goal is to advance our insight into the mechanisms that shape the unique biological features of the human brain, and how these features are disturbed in neurodevelopmental disease
