Born and raised in Ohio, Ethan attended Miami University, majoring in zoology and neuroscience. Post-graduation, he continued to work in the lab of Dr. Jaime Imitola at The Ohio State University where he studied how maternal infection alters human brain development using organoids. His doctoral thesis focuses on understanding how noncoding DNA mutations cause disease, like polydactyly and neurodevelopmental disorders, in Dr. Evgeny Kvon's lab.
