Cellular reprogramming to model the human brain in vitro: an interview with Cedric Bardy

In this interview, Cedric Bardy, the Director of the Laboratory for Human Neurophysiology and Genetics at SAHMRI Mind & Brain in Australia, discusses progresses in stem cell reprogramming technologies that have the potential to lead to the discovery of new clinical treatments for neurological and psychiatric disorders. Could you tell us a little about your career to date and what drew you into the field of neuroscience? The complexity and power of the human brain fascinates me. I spent many years as a junior researcher scrutinizing how neural circuits process sensory inputs to create coherent visual perception, olfaction, movement and...
