Sara's research focuses on the role of genetic mutations in brain development and childhood disease. She is particularly interested in how inhibitory neurons contribute to brain function and dysfunction.

The Harris lab uses genetic, molecular and imaging techniques to explore the genetics that underlie regeneration, and how we can improve the ability to repair and re-grow tissues after they're damaged.

Gradi Bamfonga, BS in Biomedical Eng. (Univ. of Rochester), is a PhD candidate at Arizona State University under Dr. Madeline Andrews, focusing on the impact of mTOR pathway mutations on neurodevelopment.
