Stewart Anderson is a Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at the Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania. He specializes in treating treatment-resistant outpatients suffering from schizophrenia and has transitioned from Cornell Medical College to the University of Pennsylvania and The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. His research focuses on understanding the molecular and cellular mechanisms that govern the development of the mammalian forebrain. He employs mouse genetics, forebrain slice culture techniques, and human pluripotent stem cells to study interneuron fate determination in the cerebral cortex. Dr. Anderson is particularly interested in the molecular underpinnings related to GABAergic interneuron subclasses and their implications in neuropathologies such as autism and schizophrenia. Additionally, he explores cell-based therapies for psychosis and seizures, and the gene-gene and gene-environment interactions in neuropsychiatric diseases. His work includes studying mitochondria in stem cell-derived neurons, especially related to the 22q11.2 deletion syndrome and investigating human stem cell-derived microglia affected by HIV.
