“Modelling human brain disorders in vitro”

Professor Cedric Bardy is an ARC Future Fellow and a prominent researcher at the South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute (SAHMRI) and Flinders University. He currently leads the Laboratory for Human Neurophysiology and Genetics and serves as the founding Director of the Brain Organoid Therapeutics Screening Platform based at SAHMRI.

Cedric’s research team focuses on developing therapeutics for adult and paediatric neurodegenerative disorders and brain cancer and plays a pioneering role in advancing human brain models in vitro. Cedric is internationally recognised for inventing BrainPhys™, a widely used neuromedium to culture human brain cells in vitro, and for groundbreaking contributions to using iPSCs to study genetic brain disorders.

A light lunch will be served in the foyer following the presentation.
