Children's Brain Tumour Research Centre
Key academic and clinical faculty
Dr. Paul Scotting
Associate Professor in Genetics
I am interested in the cellular and molecular origins of children’s brain tumours. In particular, the origins of cranial Germ Cell tumours and the role of epigenetics in initiating brain tumours. I also have a related research programme studying the molecular basis of nervous system development in vertebrates, especially the mechanisms by which multipotent stem cells become ‘neural’.
