James Briscoe studies the highly structured development of the central nervous systems in embryos. For James, personal drive and self-motivation are key to success in science. A better understanding of the development of the spinal cord will shed light on diseased and damaged nervous systems, and the hope is that this research will lead to therapies for these conditions. In his job, James also part of an independent committee that reviews grant applications and makes recommendations on which research projects to fund. This process means that experienced scientists working in the same area of research make these important decisions. This resource was produced by Research Councils UK (RCUK).
