Eric M. Morrow received his PhD in genetics and neurodevelopment from Harvard University and his MD degree from the Health Science Training (HST) Program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard Medical School. He conducted further clinical scientific training in neurology and psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. His research focuses on the normal molecular mechanisms of brain development and the genetic perturbations underlying disorders of human cognitive development, including autism and intellectual disability. His laboratory investigates the mechanisms involving neuronal organelles such as endosomes, lysosomes, and mitochondria, as well as aspects of neurometabolism. Increasingly, Morrow's lab studies novel human neurogenetic syndromes, particularly in relation to selective neuronal vulnerability in neurodegeneration. They are also working towards developing molecular therapies for neurogenetic disorders, with research funded by the National Institute of Mental Health, National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, and the National Institute on Aging.
