The Macaque Face Patch System: A Turtle’s Underbelly for the Brain Doris Tsao, Professor of Biology at the University of California Berkeley and Investigator of the Howard Hughes Medical Instituteĭoris Tsao is a Professor of Biology at the University of California Berkeley and Investigator of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. View public lecture presentation April 24, 2023 In his work, he explores different aspects of ontogenetic and phylogenetic shape changes - in particular the evolution and development of the brain and the imprint it leaves in the bony braincase through an interdisciplinary approach that brings together analysis of fossil skulls, ancient genomes, brain imaging and gene expression. As fossils are usually found broken into many pieces, and only partially complete, a central topic of his work is the virtual reconstruction of fossils using computed tomographic scans. He studies the evolution of developmental patterns with the aim of understanding what makes us human by comparing our own species with our closest living and fossil relatives.
