Dr. Simran Kaur, is Team Leader / Senior Research Officer for the Brain and Mitochondrial group at MCRI.
Simran is leading Australia’s first KAND (KIF1A-Associated Neurological Disorder) research program in collaboration with national and international collaborators to accelerate research into KAND. The team hopes that by better understanding disease pathophysiology, they can identify disease biomarkers and new therapies, driven by cutting-edge stem cell technology.
These advances will improve long-term health outcomes for this vulnerable group of children and may potentially offer unprecedented and life-changing opportunities for individuals and families affected by KAND.
