MEET THE CHETTY LAB

Sundari Chetty, PhD

Sundari Chetty received her Ph.D. in neuroscience and B.A. in molecular and cell biology from the University of California, Berkeley. 

After completing her post-doctoral work in Stem Cell and Regenerative Biology in Douglas Melton’s lab at Harvard University, Dr. Chetty started her lab at Stanford University.

Now at MGH Center for Regenerative Medicine, the Chetty lab utilizes human pluripotent stem cells to investigate the regulatory mechanism of brain development. This work strives to inform therapeutic development targeting neuropsychiatric disorders.
