Abstract:
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive, fatal, neurodegenerative disorder caused by the degeneration of motor neurons in the CNS, which results in complete paralysis of skeletal muscles. To establish the timeframe of motor neuron degeneration in relation to muscle atrophy in motor neuron disease, we have used MRI to monitor changes throughout disease in brain and skeletal muscle of G93A-SOD1 mice, a purported model of ALS. Longitudinal MRI examination of the same animals indicated that muscle volume in the G93A-SOD1 mice was significantly reduced from as early as week 8 of life,

Abstract:
Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) are able to proliferate indefinitely without losing their ability to differentiate into multiple cell types of all three germ layers. Due to these fascinating properties, hESCs have promise as a robust cell source for regenerative medicine and as an in vitro model for the study of human development. In my PhD study, I have investigated the neural differentiation process of hESCs using our established protocol, identified characteristics associated with each stage of the differentiation and explored possible signalling pathways underlying these dynamic changes

Many ocular diseases result in visual impairment often leading to blindness with disease progression, one such example is Retinitis pigmentosa (RP). The underlying cause for blindness is often due to the degeneration of photoreceptors and supporting cells in the retina. Photoreceptors are responsible for the conversion of light signals into electrical impulses which are processed by the brain to form a visual image. Unlike other cells, photoreceptors cannot be regenerated by the body. For this reason current treatment for many ocular diseases aims to preserve what little vision patients hold.

Changes in telomerase activity and telomere length are hallmarks of aging and carcinogenesis. Retention of telomerase activity and long telomeres are key characteristics of stem cells and progenitor cells. I hypothesize that PCBs modulate telomerase activity and telomeres of hematopoietic stem cells and progenitor cells via interference of gene regulation and potentially disrupt c

Abstract:
Embryonic stem (ES) cells possess the remarkable ability to form cells and tissues from all three germ layers, a characteristic known as pluripotency. In particular, the generation of ES cell-derived hematopoietic cells could serve as an alternate source of hematopoietic stem cells for transplantation in place of bone marrow cells, which are limited by donor availability and high immunogenicity. The advantages of ES cell-derived hematopoietic cells over bone marrow cells include a greater proliferative capacity, which alleviates the problems of donor shortage, and low level expression of MHC a
