Genes important for early brain development are also important for adult brain disease [ 2013 - 2017 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Seong-Seng Tan (Principal investigator)

Brief description I committed to understanding of how the brain develops, grows and regenerates. My laboratory is active in finding a cure for brain injury following brain trauma or brain ischemia. I have discovered that the genes that drive neuron migration and wiring in the fetus also function in the adult brain to improve neuron survival and regeneration. Probing the function of these genes will deliver twin benefits in preventing brain disorder in the newborn and treating brain disease in the adult.
