Research Grant

Researchers: A/Pr Lisa Foa (Principal investigator) ,  Dr David Gell ,  Prof David Small

Brief description Defects in brain development can manifest in a range of disorders including autism and mental retardation. The highly complex, precise network that is our nervous system forms during development. Our work will determine the role of key proteins in guiding developing neurons. Understanding the function of such proteins will improve our ability to predict the outcome caused by mutations in these proteins, in the developing foetus.
