Dmitry Velmeshev conducts research in the field of Neurobiology, focusing on understanding normal human brain development and neurodevelopmental diseases at a single-cell level. His primary interest lies in developing a holistic view of the genetic programs that instruct neural progenitors to give rise to the diverse cell types in the brain, and understanding how these processes are affected in brain disorders such as autism. With a Ph.D. from the University of Miami, Velmeshev holds the position of Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Duke University, where he teaches various neuroscience courses. His work emphasizes single-cell analysis techniques to investigate the prenatal and postnatal human cortical development, exploring molecular changes that occur in neurodevelopmental conditions. Velmeshev has an extensive publication record, showcasing his contributions to the understanding of brain circuitry and molecular pathology in neurodevelopmental diseases, and continuously seeks to identify genetic and molecular pathways critical for brain function and disorders.
