Dr. Mustafa Sahin Inducted into the National Academy of Medicine
Congratulations to Dr. Sahin, recognized by the academy, for his world-leading expertise in the neurobiology of autism and a pioneer in translational studies for neurogenetic disorders. Work in the Sahin lab has identified the mechanisms by which tuberous sclerosis leads to neuronal mis-wiring and led to the identification of potential therapies for this and related disorders.
