معرفی
Malin Parmar is a Professor at Lund University's Faculty of Medicine, leading the Department of Experimental Medical Science's Developmental and Regenerative Neurobiology group. She serves as Principal Investigator for StemTherapy (National Stem Cell Initiative) and MultiPark (Multidisciplinary Parkinson's Research). Her work spans translational stem cell biology, neuronal differentiation, and brain repair strategies.
Research Focus:
- Stem cell fate specification in brain development
- Subtype-specific neuron generation from human stem cells
- In vitro glia-to-neuron conversion technologies
- In vivo endogenous glia reprogramming
- Parkinson's disease-focused regenerative therapies
Key Research Trends: Recent publications highlight organoid modeling, single-cell transcriptomics, and lineage tracing in Parkinson's research. Work emphasizes precision neurotechnology and clinical translation of autologous cell therapies.
Scientific Recognition:
- 2024 - Oon Award for Preventative Medicine
- 2018 - Bengt Falcks Prize in Neuroscience
- 2016 - Eric K. Fernström Prize
- 2015 - Article of the Month
- 2015 - Finalist, Stem Cell Investigator Award
Academic Leadership: Active in conference organization (Neuroscience Day 2024/2025 program committees) and media engagements (TV, podcasts). Supervises multiple PhD students while managing international collaborations.
