Zoha Kibar is an Associate Professor in the Department of Neuroscience at the University of Montreal. Her research focuses on the genetic and biological basis of congenital malformations, particularly neural tube defects (NTDs) and Chiari malformations. With extensive experience in molecular genetics, Zoha has identified key genes involved in these conditions, such as Vangl2, and has investigated the multifactorial etiology of NTDs. She employs innovative techniques including whole-genome analysis and studies of mutant mouse models to explore gene-environment interactions and the underlying pathological mechanisms. Zoha has supervised numerous graduate students, fostering the next generation of researchers in the field. Her work not only enhances the understanding of congenital anomalies but also aims to inform preventive strategies and counseling for affected families. She collaborates across various research units and has been actively involved in several funded projects aimed at uncovering the complexities of developmental disorders.
