Durcan is an Associate Professor within the Montreal Neurological Institute (The Neuro) and 9I制作厂免费 and Director of the Neuro鈥檚 Early Drug Discovery Unit (EDDU), focused on the use of human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) for fundamental and translational discovery project through partnerships with academia and industry. Founded under a decade ago, the group has established a cohort of 200+ iPSCs that have been advanced into both discovery and translational projects and used to generate a wide range of neuronal and glial subtypes, in addition to more advanced 3D brain organoid models, with a focus on Parkinson鈥檚 disease, ALS and rare diseases. Working with others, through these models advancements in RNA and precision therapies are advancing within the EDDU.
