Jorge Gomez Deza
Principal investigator
I was born in sunny Spain and moved to London for my undergrad and PhD, where I studied ALS using iPSCs and postmortem tissue. I then moved to NIH to do my postdoc studying the mechanisms of axon degeneration and cell death in human neurons.
In my free time I love to swim, play squash and boardgames. I also speak several languages which I try to use as much as I can while traveling
Peter Hayashi
Sr. Research Associate
I grew up in the Philly area, and went to undergrad at Drexel University. After graduation, I worked at the Gene Therapy Program at the University of Pennsylvania, and received a Master's degree in Bioengineering.
I've been working in the molecular biology area for over 5 years now.
Outside of work, I like to be out in nature, I'm a big sports fan, and I'm part of a weekly quizzo team.
