Mathieu Perez

MD-PhD Candidate 

I decode the neuronal failure points that drive neurodegeneration

I leverage biophysical measurements, perturbation, and high-throughput imaging with single-cell and spatial omics to build optical pooled screens that pinpoint neuronal subpopulations selectively vulnerable in neurodegenerative disease across the Bayraktar and Bassett labs at the Wellcome Sanger Institute and the Ward lab at NINDS-NIH

As an MD-PhD trainee in the UCSF MSTP and the University of Cambridge, I’m focused on translating these scalable approaches from mechanism to markers to medicine
