New Instructor Session 1- Getting to Know You

12:00-12:15 – Tamar Berger, M.D.

Leveraging Aneuploidy in GBM


12:15-12:20 – Q&A

 

Dr. Tamar Berger attended Stanford University, where she did research on Alzheimer’s disease. She completed her MD/PhD training at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, PA, where she studied protein misfolding in the context of polyglutamine repeat disorders. Berger completed Neurology residency at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, followed by neuro-oncology fellowship at the Dana-Farber/Mass General Fellowship program, and she is currently an Instructor in Neurology in Harvard Medical School and in Dana-Farber’s Department of Medical Oncology. Berger performs research in the laboratories of Rameen Beroukhim, M.D., Ph.D., and William G. Kaelin, M.D., where she is studying genetic vulnerabilities associated with truncal chromosome alterations in Glioblastoma.

12:20-12:35 – Aditi Varma-Doyle, M.D. 


Disorders of the Peripheral Autonomic Nervous System (Neuropathies and Neurodegenerative Diseases)


12:35-12:40 – Q&A

 

Dr. Aditi Varma-Doyle completed her neurology residency at LSUHSC New Orleans, followed by a fellowship in Autonomic Neurology and Peripheral Nerve Disorders at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and a second fellowship in Advanced General and Autoimmune Neurology at Massachusetts General Hospital. She also is an MPH graduate student at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. She earned her M.D. from Kasturba Medical College, Manipal University, India. Her clinical interests include general neurology, autonomic disorders, and neuro-inflammatory and neuroimmunological disorders.

 

12:40-12:55 – Mingyu Ye, Ph.D. 


Transcriptional and functional study of cortical circuit and plasticity in a mouse model of autism


12:55-1:00 – Q&A

 

Dr. Mingyu Ye is an instructor at the Department of Neurology Mass General Brigham (MGB) and Harvard Medical School (HMS) in Dr. Stelios Smirnakis’ laboratory. He obtained his Ph.D. degree from Tongji University, China in 2011, then worked as a postdoctoral research scientist in Chinese Academy of Science’s Institute of Neuroscience in China (2011-2013), Columbia University (2013-2021), and MGB with a corresponding academic affiliation at HMS (2021-2023). He was promoted to Instructor in 2023. He specializes in sensory neuroscience research. Over the course of his research career, he has learned a number of essential techniques, including mesoscopic two-photon imaging, single cell optogenetics using two-photon laser beam and spatial light modulator (SLM) targeting, patch clamp electrophysiology, multiplex RNA-FISH, AAV mediated brain circuit tracing and manipulation, and mouse behaviors, among others. His research interest and long-term research goal is to decipher how sensory information is encoded in the brain, how cortical sensory processing goes awry at cellular and neural circuit level in neurological disorders, such as autism and Alzheimer’s disease. In addition to research, he is interested in mentoring and providing support to undergraduates, junior pre/postdoctoral fellows and the community at MGB.
