A Human-Centric View of Cerebellar Development

Date: April 18, 2025

Time: 11 a.m. - 12 p.m.

About this Seminar

Models of human brain development are largely rodent-centric. Yet rodents are not human. Dr. Millen’s group’s discovery of human-specific cerebellar developmental programs has led to paradigm-shifting new insights into the causes of cerebellar malformations and tumors.
