Dr. Daadi received his Master of Science, and his PhD in Neurosciences from “Universite de la Mediterranee” in Marseille, France on the sensorimotor mechanisms controlling movements. He has academic and industry backgrounds, in discovery and development of promising technologies from research laboratories to the clinic. He completed a post-doctoral training at the University of Calgary, School of Medicine, Canada where he discovered a novel method to generate dopaminergic neurons from neural stem cells for applications in Parkinson’s disease.
His laboratory is devoted to the modeling and understanding of neurological disorders and to discovery and development of therapeutics including cell therapy and small molecules for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease and brain injuries. The laboratory uses a wide array of neurobehavioral tests, multimodal imaging, induced pluripotent stem cell-based models, in vitro cell assays, single cell multi-omics and immunohistopathological approaches to investigate cellular diversity, aging and neuroplasticity in health and diseases.
