Research Summary
The aim of our group is to understand the development of paediatric brain diseases and in particular the roles of neural stem cells in these diseases. We have focussed on brain tumours and epilepsy. Recent highlights include demonstrating how initial mutations cause different types of tumour in the brain and the isolation of a pathological stem cell from a human malformation of cortical development.
