Odessa Yabut, PhD

Dr. Yabut's primary research interest is to elucidate the molecular mechanisms regulating neural stem cell behavior in stem cell niches of the developing and postnatal brain using rational mouse models. The ultimate goal of Dr. Yabut's research program is to advance our knowledge on how distinct and functional neural cell lineages are produced and facilitate the development of diagnostic and therapeutic tools to treat neurodevelopmental and neuro-oncological diseases.
