　　报告人简介: 

　　Julian attained his Bachelor’s of Science from UWA (1993-1996) followed by a PhD in developmental neuroscience at the University of Melbourne (1998-2002), working at the Howard Florey Institute. He then investigated the fundamental mechanisms for neural circuit formation as a CJ Martin Fellow and then as an MRC Career Development Fellow at the National Institute for Medical Research (UK) from 2004 to 2008. In 2010, Julian was appointed Group Leader at the Australian Regenerative Medicine Institute (Clayton, Australia) and received a Career  Development Award (Level 1, NH&MRC) to study the genetic mechanisms of brain development and disorder. In 2014, he relocated his research to the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research (Perth, Western Australia) to establish the Brain Growth and Disease Laboratory in order to translate his findings into improved genetic diagnostic tests for childhood brain disorder. Julian then joined Curtin University in March 2017 to relocate his research to the Sarich Neuroscience Research Institute with the goal to apply functional genomics to diagnose as well as to treat brain developmental disorders (https://thehenglab.com/) . Julian has about 34 papers, and some of which are published on Nature, Nature Cell Biology, Cell Reports, JBC etc.
