HiLIFE webinar / Viikki Monday Seminar by Robin Franklin: The emergence of myelin - a critical event in vertebrate evolution

The emergence of myelin - a critical event in vertebrate evolution
Robin Franklin is a Principal Investigator at Altos Labs Cambridge Institute of Science and Honorary Professor in the School of Biology at the University of Cambridge, having previously been Professor of Stem Cell Medicine at the Wellcome-MRC Cambridge Stem Cell Institute. His laboratory has made many pioneering discoveries on the mechanisms by which adult CNS progenitors replace lost oligodendrocytes, describing how their function declines with aging and how this can be reversed. He is a Fellow of both the Academy of Medical Sciences and the Royal Society, as well as the recipient of the 2017 Barancik International Prize for Research Innovation and the 2021 King Faisal Prize for Medicine.
