The main goal of Dr. Anton's lab is to understand the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying radial progenitor development, neuronal migration and neuronal connectivity in the mammalian cerebral cortex. In particular, the aim is to decipher the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the construction of the brain as it relates to neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism or ciliopathies. His lab has combined genetic analysis of progenitor and neuronal development with in vivo examination of cortical precursor and neuron functions to understand how neurons organize themselves into layers and connect with each other in the cerebral cortex.
