Senior🎓
Top SchoolStefano Berto is an Assistant Professor and computational neurogenomicist at the Medical University of South Carolina with 11 years of experience bridging neuroscience and genomics. As Director of the Bioinformatic Core, he leads NGS-driven projects and provides analytical infrastructure for studies of neuropsychiatric disorders. His background spans a PhD on transcription factor networks and human brain evolution, followed by a postdoc as a computational biologist in neuroscience, giving him deep expertise in functional genomics and evolutionary perspectives. He combines hands-on bioinformatics with academic leadership, mentoring students and collaborators while running core services. Based in Charleston, SC, he is skilled at turning complex sequencing data into biologically meaningful insights that inform disease mechanisms. A detail not obvious from titles: his training in evolutionary biology informs how he interprets regulatory variation in neuropsychiatric disease contexts.
