Developmental Neurobiology Parmar Lab
The focus of my research group is to understand molecular mechanisms underlying cell fate specification in the developing brain and in human neural progenitor cells using cell-based models of neuronal differentiation. Our current focus is to learn how to direct and efficiently drive controlled differentiation of human stem cells into subtype-specific neurons for use in biomedical applications and cell replacement therapy.
Our lab is part of the Division of Developmental and Regenerative Neurobiology that consists of three research groups (Björklund, Jakobsson & Parmar) that share lab space and technical staff.

För två år sedan kunde Malin Parmar tillsammans med sin forskargrupp visa att det går att skola om mänskliga hudceller till hjärnceller utan att först backa dem till stamceller - ett framsteg som ingen tidigare trodde var möjligt. Här kan du lyssna på en radiosändning som förklarar vägen dit.
Watch Malin Parmar talk about in vivo reprogramming done in her lab.
