السيرة الذاتية

Dr. Renuka Prasad Gurunanjaiah is a Post-doctoral researcher at the Neurological Disorders Research Center, Qatar Biomedical Research Institute (QBRI). He earned his PhD in Molecular Biology from the University of Seoul in 2020. He then joined the Korea University College of Medicine, where he investigated rare genetic disorders such as Cohen Syndrome using organoid-based models and functional implications of novel gene mutations.

Dr. Prasad’s research integrates patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells with organoid platforms, focusing on neurodevelopmental disorders. He is proficient in neural organoid culture, genome editing, molecular biology, and confocal imaging, and has presented his work at international conferences such as ISSCR, ISN-APSN, KSBMB, and IFAA. His research aims to advance human brain disease modeling and develop safer therapeutic strategies using neural organoid systems.
