Public seminar-Professor Alan Mackay-Sim

The NRP is hosting a Public Research Seminar by Professor Alan Mackay-Sim. Professor Mackay-Sim is the Director of the National Centre for Adult Stem Cell Research at Griffith University (Australia).
He led an Australian clinical trial in the transplantation of adult olfactory ensheathing glia into the injured spinal cord. He and his team are now using olfactory stem cells to develop cellular models of diseases such as schizophrenia, Parkinson’s and motor neurone disease. They have identified differences in nerve cell regeneration in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder that help understand how these diseases develop.
The seminar will be held on Tuesday the 30th of April, 2013 at the University of Western Australia. Details can be found at the NRP website.
