Prof. Ditte Demontis
Prof. Tiwari’s research focuses on decoding the fundamental gene regulatory programs governing neural fate decisions and to understand how their disruption contributes to neurodevelopmental disorders. By combining epigenetics, transcription factor biology, genomics, and computational biology in cutting-edge models of brain development, his multidisciplinary provides new insights into brain function and pathology while paving the way for novel therapeutic strategies.

Prof. Konstantin Khodosevich
Prof. Ditte Demontis
Prof. Demontis specializes in psychiatric genetics, particularly the genetic underpinnings of neurodevelopmental disorders such as ADHD, autism, and schizophrenia. Her research combines large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWAS) with functional genomics to identify risk variants and mechanisms, advancing our understanding of how genetics influences brain development and behavior.

Prof. Konstantin Khodosevich
Prof. Konstantin Khodosevich
Prof. Khodosevich’s work focuses on molecular mechanisms underlying brain development and plasticity. His research explores ion channel regulation in neurons, neuronal circuits, and their impact on cognitive functions. He uses advanced techniques like optogenetics and electrophysiology to study neuronal excitability and its alterations in neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative diseases.

About NDD Consortium
Our Research Areas
The NDD consortium explores neurodevelopmental disorders by integrating epigenetics, genetics, and neuronal function studies. Research focuses on epigenetic regulation in neural development, genetic risk factors for psychiatric disorders like ADHD, and cortical interneuron dysfunction in brain diseases. This multidisciplinary approach advances understanding of neurodevelopment and its implications for neurological and psychiatric conditions.
Our Facilities
The NDD Consortium integrates multiomics, single-cell technologies, and computational approaches to investigate gene regulation, neurodevelopmental disorders, and brain function. This collaborative initiative fosters innovation in neuroscience and genomics, bringing together experts to advance our understanding of brain development and disease mechanisms through cutting-edge research and technological advancements.
