Per Brattås obtained his PhD in molecular neurogenetics at Lund University, where he studied the genetics of development, disorders, and evolution of the human brain. His research focused on dissecting how genetic differences between humans and chimpanzees influence gene expression patterns during brain development. Per’s experience includes genomics, CRISPR-Cas9, brain disorders, and models of human brain development. Before starting his PhD, he completed an MSc in molecular genetics from NTNU Trondheim, NUS Singapore, and Lund University.
