About me

Dr. Quenten Schwarz is a developmental neuroscientist heading the Neurovascular Research Laboratory at the Centre for Cancer Biology. Following a PhD in Human Genetics obtained from the Univresity of Adelaide he relocated to London to undertake Postdoctoral training at University College London. In this time he investigated the molecular control of neuronal and vascular development. Since returning to Australia to establish his laboratory in 2010 he has been awarded several NHMRC project grants, an NHMRC CDA Fellowship and is a current National Heart Foundation Future Leader Fellow. His work is primarily focused on understanding how interactions between neural crest cells, neurons and endothelial cells control morphogenesis of embryonic... Read more
