John Bicknell is a developmental neuroendocrinologist and his group is using transgenic mouse models to identify the molecular signals controlling migration of gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons from the embryonic nose to the brain. GnRH neurons control reproductive hormone output and originate in the olfactory system of the embryo before migrating along olfactory axon projections into the brain; a developmental mechanism that is conserved in evolution, including humans.
