Biography

Katharine (Kate) Lewis is an associate professor in Department of Biology of Syracuse University, New York United States. She specializes in understanding the roles different genes play in particular neurons should help researchers to grow specific types of neurons from stem cells to treat neural diseases, stroke, and spinal cord injuries.

Research Intrest

Specification and patterning of spinal cord interneurons; Formation of functional neuronal circuitry; Evolution of spinal cord patterning and function; Dorsal-ventral neural tube patterning; zebrafish development.
