Research

Research Assistant  

Jacobs School of Medicine & Biomedical Sciences 

Dr. Fraser Sim 

July 2022 - Present

The current goal of our research involves the development of the neural stem and progenitor cells in the human brain. Oligodendrocytes in the human brain are involved in the regulation of nervous system signal transduction and produce myelin, an axon insulating sheath. When myelin sheaths are lost in the adult brain, the oligodendrocyte precursors are able to induce the repair process known as remyelination. The goal of our project is to develop a novel drug that may help to assist in the remyelination process, along with cell therapy for the treatment of Multiple Sclerosis and other demyelinating diseases such as Leukotrophy.
