Jae Yeon Kim received her PhD degree in Brain & Cognitive Sciences from DGIST in the South Korea in 2020, working with Dr. Cheil Moon on mouse olfactory bulb interneuron development. She studied the molecular machinery that distinguishes the anatomical or functional specification of interneuron by their birth time. Jae Yeon joined the Paredes Lab as a Post doctor researcher in April 2020, doing characterization of late-migrating interneurons in human and piglet brain. Her research interests include the distinct regional development in human brain and linking it with neurodevelopmental disorders including Autism Spectrum Disorder.
