Cedric Bardy's short biography: Professor Cedric Bardy is neurobiologist with in-depth expertise in human neural stem cell models, electrophysiology and single cell transcriptomics. His research efforts are focused on advancing new stem cell biotechnologies and strategies to understand the effect of neurological disorders on brain cells. Cedric grew up in the South of France before moving to Australia to obtain a PhD in Medicine from the University of Sydney (2008). He pursued his postdoctoral training in Neuroscience in the laboratory of Prof. Pierre-Marie Lledo at the Pasteur Institute in Paris (2008-2010). He then received the prestigious Marie Curie International Fellowship to continue his research in California at the Salk Institute in California under the mentorship of Prof. Fred Gage (2011-2016).
At the end of 2016, he was recruited back to Australia by SAHMRI and Flinders University, where he established a new research program aiming to improve pre-clinical translation in neurology. In January 2021, he was promoted to Associate Professor by Flinders University. He currently leads the Laboratory for Human Neurophysiology and Genetics located at SAHMRI.
Cedric has contributed to pioneering the development of iPSC models to study brain disorders. In particular, he is the inventor of BrainPhys, a neuronal medium broadly used to culture and mature human neurons in vitro, and he co-authored the first iPSC paper of Alzheimer’s published in Nature.
