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.

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...
