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.

The Parmar lab is celebrating their newest publication on conversion of adult lung fibroblasts into functional neurons together with collaborators from Department of Respiratory Medicine and Allergology, Lung Biology/EMV, and Department of Clinical Science.
The publication entitled Efficient conversion of functional neurons from adult human fibroblasts will appear in Volume 10, Issue 19, 2011 of CELL CYCLE.
