Bio

Stuart Cattel is a graduate student in Dr. James Millonig’s laboratory and in the Graduate Program in Neuroscience at Rutgers University. He earned his BA in Neuroscience from Franklin & Marshall College. Following his graduation from F&M, Stuart worked for two years as a Research Assistant in Dr. David Ginty’s laboratory at Harvard Medical School studying the ultrastructural features of somatosensory end-organs in the skin and their potential role in touch-sensing mechanotransduction. Stuart’s current research utilizes a multiomic approach to understand whether a common biochemical pathway underpins neurological phenotypes seen in genetic (16p11.2del) and idiopathic cases of Autism Spectrum Disorder.
