Georgia Panagiotakos, PhD

Dr. Panagiotakos is an Associate Professor in the Departments of Psychiatry and Neuroscience. She is also a member of the Institute for Regenerative Medicine, the Seaver Autism Center for Research and Treatment, the Mindich Child Health and Development Institute, the Black Family Stem Cell Institute, the Alper Center for Neural Development and Regeneration, and the Friedman Brain Institute. Her laboratory is focused on investigating cellular and molecular mechanisms that regulate brain development, with an eye towards understanding the underpinnings of neurodevelopmental disorders. The Panagiotakos lab has been especially interested in electrical signals in the developing brain and disease-associated ion channels that convert electrical signals into long term biochemical changes as immature neural cells adopt their mature identities in the brain.
