Lia Panman leads a research team of postdoctoral scientists, support staff and PhD students. She plans the scientific directions of her group which address the research objectives of the MRC Toxicology Unit and periodically presents the research programme for peer review in accordance with MRC funding procedures. This research is exclusively conducted at the MRC Toxicology Unit where she is employed full time.
The research focus is on determining mechanisms involved in specifying dopaminergic neurons and to understand how distinct subtypes are formed. The long-term aim is to employ embryonic stem cells to treat neurodegenerative disease, such as Parkinson’s. This work fits within the Neurodegeneration group of the Neuroscience & Behaviour Theme and she collaborates with several UoA4 members (Mallucci, Martins, Luthi-Carter and Giorgini).

Joern Steinart is responsible for leading a research team of one postdoctoral scientist, one PhD student, and one research support staff member. He plans the scientific directions of his group that addresses the research objectives of the MRC Toxicology Unit and periodically present the research programme for peer review in accordance with MRC funding procedures. Collaborations within the MRC Unit and with the groups in the University form a substantial part of his responsibilities. This research is exclusively conducted at the MRC Toxicology Unit at which he is employed full time. Staff are employed by the MRC with additionally one PhD student (working in his group at the MRC) being shared with the Genetics Department and funded by the University Leicester. Steinart's group investigates signalling pathways involved in Nitric Oxide (NO)-induced neurotoxicity and aims to identify putative targets for therapeutic intervention. This includes research into novel nitrergic signalling pathways associated with neurodegeneration. This work fits within the Neurodegeneration group of the Neuroscience & Behaviour Theme and he has several collaborations with other UoA4 members (Giorgini, Forsythe, Mallucci).
