Main Focus

My name is Anthi Krontira and I originally come from Greece, where I completed my studies in Biology and Molecular Anatomy. Currently I am working in Elisabeth Binder's lab where I am focusing on the role of the prenatal environment on neurodevelopment and its implication with psychiatric disorders risk. I am working with cellular, molecular and microscopy techniques on the developing mouse brain and on 3-dimensional human cortical organoids."
