Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Lachlan Thompson (Principal investigator) ,  A/Pr Clare Parish

Brief description This research aims to develop a procedure that allows for the safe and effective use of stem cells as a therapy for Parkinson’s disease. It is based on the concept that new dopamine neurons, generated from stem cells, can be implanted into the brain of the patients in order to replace those lost to the disease, thereby improving motor function.
