Dr. Mohammed Mostajo-Radji is an Assistant Research Scientist at the Genomics Institute of the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC), where his lab is part of the Braingeneers group, a multidisciplinary collective of geneticists, neuroscientists, and engineers focused on understanding the specification and function of the human brain. His research explores neuronal specification and fate plasticity in the cerebral cortex using brain organoid models. Additionally, he leads the Live Cell Biotechnology Discovery Lab, which develops cloud-based experimental science education technologies.

​

Dr. Mostajo-Radji earned his Ph.D. in Molecular and Cellular Biology from Harvard University and completed postdoctoral training at the University of California, San Francisco, in the Department of Regeneration Medicine and Stem Cell Research. Beyond academia, he has served as CEO of Science Clubs Bolivia, a nonprofit that has trained thousands of students in STEM fields. He also co-leads the Data Coordination Center for the SSPsyGene Consortium, an NIH initiative to characterize genetic mutations associated with neuropsychiatric disorders.
