Christian Cazares is a postdoctoral research fellow in Bradley Voytek’s lab at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). He uses electrophysiology to bridge human electroencephalography, neural organoids and mouse models to study neurodevelopmental conditions. His long-term goal is to start a lab that researches cortical circuits for cognitive abilities, including decision-making, and their disruption in neurodevelopmental disorders.
