معرفی
Professor Cedric Bardy is a neurobiologist and ARC Future Fellow at Flinders University and the South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute (SAHMRI). As Director of the Laboratory for Human Neurobiology, he develops human stem cell models to study neurological disorders. His work bridges stem cell biotechnology, electrophysiology, and single-cell transcriptomics for translational neuroscience.
- PhD in Medicine (2008), University of Sydney
- Postdoctoral Fellow, Institut Pasteur (2008-2010)
- Marie Curie Fellow, Salk Institute (2011-2016)
His research focuses on induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and brain organoids to model Parkinson's disease, childhood dementia, and brain cancer. He invented BrainPhys, a widely used neuronal culture medium. His publications span high-impact journals like Nature, Cell, and Nature Methods, with recent work on Glioblastoma and neurodegeneration mechanisms.
Scientific Awards:
- Marie Curie International Fellowship
- ARC Future Fellowship
His multidisciplinary approach combines automated tissue culture, patch-clamp electrophysiology, robotized drug screens, and bioinformatics. The lab collaborates with Flinders Health and Medical Research Institute (FHMRI) and is embedded in Adelaide's biomedical precinct near Royal Adelaide Hospital and Lot Fourteen innovation hub.
