Aponte Santiago Lab

How the brain turns on?

From transient calcium signals to lasting neurodevelopmental outcomes

Mechanism

Characterizing calcium dependent gene expression programs

Cell States

Mapping Ca2+ signaling states across the developing brain

Disease Models

Elucidating the role of conserved calcium signaling genes in brain development

In the Aponte Santiago Lab, we investigate the mechanisms of calcium-dependent gene expression during brain development. Currently recruiting trainees who want to obtain hands-on experience in zebrafish husbandry, pharmacological perturbations, CRISPR gene editing, RNA quantification, imaging, and single-cell analysis.
