Anderson Lab ~ Development and Function of the Autonomic Nervous System
Principal investigator: Assoc Prof Colin Anderson
“This laboratory carries out research on the autonomic nervous system and its development. We are interested in how the autonomic nervous system is organised in the adult as distinct sets of neurons, each controlling a specific target. We are also interested in how the different functional types of autonomic neuron and their support cells develop from a pool of neural crest precursor cells.”
