Biography

My primary interest is stem cells, their capacity to repair the damaged brain, and to model human brain disorders. My lab helped prepare the first neural cell therapy to enter clinical trials in Europe. We subsequently used pluripotent stem cells to model neurodevelopmental disorders, particularly autism and schizophrenia. For two years I was Director of the UK Stem Cell bank, and promoted the use of human pluripotent stem cells for clinical use. I currently Head the Division of Advanced Therapies at the National Institute for Biological Standards and Control (NIBSC). I have published and spoken widely on Cell Therapies in both academic and popular formats. My book ‘The Future of Brain Repair: A Realist’s Guide to Stem Cell Therapy’ published by MIT Press will appear in March 2020.
