Dr Ian Johnson
BSc PhD (London University, England)
Senior Lecturer
email : ian.johnson@adelaide.edu.au Ian obtained a BSc (hons) in anatomy from the University of Birmingham and a PhD in neuroanatomy from the University of London. His postdoctoral work at the Institute of Neurology, London was concerned with the target-dependence of motoneurones. He was appointed senior lecturer in anatomy at the Royal Free and University College Medical School, London in 2000 where he co-ordinated medical anatomy and worked on developing a strategy for neuronal rescue through gene transfer of IGF-1 isoforms which was patented. Ian joined the University of Adelaide in 2009 where he continues his work on mechanisms underlying neuronal injury and repair. Ian teaches anatomy, neuroanatomy and histology to science, medical and paramedical students.
