Ivo Spiegel

Congratulations to Zuckerman Faculty Scholar Ivo Spiegel on receiving a 2025 ERC Synergy Grant. Dr. Spiegel’s lab at the Weizmann Institute of Science researches how experience regulates brain function, specifically, the genetic basis of an individual’s ability to adapt and learn from sensory and emotional experiences. The ERC grant will allow Dr. Spiegel and his team to untangle how nature and nurture cooperate to regulate adaptive behavior and understand how mutations in the genome might give rise to individual variation in cognitive capabilities and to psychiatric disorders.
