Muhammad Kaiser Abdul Karim My research involves oligodendrocytes and its progenitors which I derive from human pluripotent stem cells through forced expression of key transcription factors, a method called forward programming. My goal is to use these cells to study oligoden...
Dr Will Brown Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is one of the most common causes of disability in the young. It typically begins in the late 20s: 15 years later a third of patients require a walking aid and more than half are not working.
Our group focuses on reducing d...
Dr Nick Cunniffe I am an Academic Clinical Lecturer in Neurology. My research is centred on the different ways of promoting and measuring remyelination in people living with multiple sclerosis; it is anticipated that through enhancing remyelination of damaged nerv...
Professor Robin Franklin FMedSci, FRS Robin Franklin is a Principal Investigator at Altos Las - Cambridge Institute having previously been Professor of Stem Cell Medicine at the Wellcome Trust-MRC Cambridge Stem Cell Institute. His lab works on the mechanisms of CNS regeneration with ...
Dr Mark Kotter My group is interested in the biology of adult CNS stem and precursor cells in the context of disease. A particular focus lies on mechanisms of CNS remyelination, a stem/precursor cell-mediated process in which new myelin sheaths are restored to d...
Stavros Vagionitis MSc, PhD Oligodendrocytes produce myelin, a lipoproteinic substance that is wrapped around neuronal axons in a life-long process called myelination.
I am studying the contribution of oligodendrocytes and their precursors (OPCs) to myelin maintenance and r...
Dr Chao Zhao My research focuses on mechanism of remyelination of central nervous system following demyelination in various conditions. After demyelinating injury, the system activates a repair process, which involves oligodendrocyte progenitor cells turning i...
