Father for 3 and married to Marge Simpson

Thibaud Metais graduated in 2020 from the Paris Higher Biotechnology Institute (Sup’Biotech) as a biotechnology engineer, specializing in R&D. After 2 years at the Pasteur Institute Paris, with a focus muscle stem cells, he joined the Ocular genomics Institute of Harvard Medical School. There, he...

Fangxiao is a postdoctoral associate in the Pan Group at the Stanley Center for Bipolar Disorder Research. She received her PhD from Zhejiang University, where she studied cerebellar dysfunction in neurological disorders using electrophysiology, optogenetics, molecular techniques, and mouse behavior...

Dylan joined the Broad Summer Scholars Program eager to explore how tiny changes in DNA can ripple outward to affect brain function and health. At the Stanley Center, he worked on understanding the functional effects of missense mutations in the CACNA1A gene, which encodes the CaV2.1 calcium channel...

Safia joined BSSP drawn to the intersection of neuroscience, genetics, and mental health. At the Stanley Center, she studied the I900S variant of NR3C2, the gene encoding the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR), which regulates stress responses and is linked to schizophrenia risk.

Jose joined the Broad Summer Scholars Program eager to gain experience with experimental neuroscience techniques that directly link genetic variation to functional outcomes. At the Stanley Center, he worked alongside fellow scholar Dylan to study eight missense variants in the CACNA1A gene, which...

Judy entered BSSP eager to understand how small genetic changes could impact brain biology. In the Stanley Center, she investigated the K820T variant of NR3C2, which encodes the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) — a key regulator of stress response and a gene linked to psychiatric disorders.
