This group joined SCRM from the Cambridge Centre for Brain Repair and relocated to the Centre in December 2007.

Our lab seeks to answer questions in regenerative biology by following three lines of research. By studying oligodendrocyte biology and myelination, we hope to identify basic principles with the long-term goal to develop novel therapeutic strategies for Multiple Sclerosis. Our work investigating the basic biology of embryonic and adult neural stem cells in combination with nerve regeneration ultimately aims at transplantation and/or in vivo manipulation in order to promote nervous system regeneration.
