Manuel Peter Email & Phone Number

I am a molecular biologist with extensive research experience in developmental neurobiology. In my research, I am interested in the formation of neural circuits and the coding principles of the developing human brain. I am using stem cell-derived, subtype-specific human neurons to study those fundamental processes in the healthy and diseased brain. Highlights of my skills include: ⋅ Expertise in the directed differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells into neuronal subtypes fordisease modeling in vitro. ⋅ Experienced in gene editing of human and mouse pluripotent stem cells, in vitro 2D and 3D cellculture systems, and assays. ⋅ Proficient in the generation and characterization of mouse models for advanced in vivo imagingapproaches of the brain. ⋅ Extensive skill set in molecular and cell biology.⋅ An established record of independent experimental design and execution resulting in multiplepublications in high-impact journals.
