About
Ian is a Research Assistant who joined the Cellular and Molecular Neurodegeneration group in June 2023. Ian’s expertise are in 3D cell culture techniques, NSCs and iPSCs. Prior to joining the group Ian’s PhD involved developing 3D cell culture models that replicate the stem cell niche to study Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycans and how they regulate neurogenesis. Ian is now working on developing patient derived blood brain barrier models of motor neuron disease utilising 3D cell culture techniques and patient derived iPSCs.
