Professor Frank Gunn-Moore

Frank Gunn-Moore (BSc Edinburgh, PhD Cambridge) is a molecular neurobiologist who studies the development and survival of the mammalian nervous system. Our approach to achieve this has been one of combining all three science disciplines of biology, chemistry and physics. We have made discoveries in understanding the early stages of Alzheimer's disease, where we have pioneered new models and identified potential therapeutic targets for the early stages of this disease. In addition, using both molecular and novel biophysical techniques we have discovered novel signalling pathways that are involved in the growth and development of mammalian cells. Also to overcome inherent problems with the manipulation of mammalian cells, we have developed novel technology that allows the controlled poration of cell impermeant biological material into any required cell type, and the controlled growth and sorting of cells by use of light.
