Lincon Stamp

Dr Lincon Stamp did his undergrad degree, BSc (Biotechnology) at the University of Newcastle (Australia). Here he developed a strong interest in stem cell biology and so moved to Melbourne to do Honours and then PhD with Prof Martin Pera at Monash University. Here his research involved investigation of the early differentiation of human embryonic stem cells toward hepatopancreatic cell fates.

He then joined the lab of Dr Don Newgreen at the Murdoch Childrens Research Institute where he began working on development of the enteric nervous system, before joining Prof Heather Young’s lab at the University of Melbourne Department of Anatomy and Neuroscience, where he has been focused on developing a stem cell therapy to treat gut motility disorders such as the paediatric enteric neuropathy Hirschprung disease.

Lincon is an ARC DECRA Fellow and holds an NHMRC Project Grant as CIB with Prof Young, and has recently published a number of high impact studies in the Gastroenterology, Journal of Clinical Investigation and Stem Cell Reports.
