Interests

We have established a scaleable and clinically compatible system for generating and propagating neural stem cells from human embryonic stem (ES) cells. Using this platform, and building on our work on mouse ES cells demonstrating a correlation of developmental restriction with the onset of gliogenesis, we are investigating the interplay between extrinsic signals and intrinsic determinants on developmental plasticity in a human context.
