Education
Robin Franklin was educated at the Haberdashers' Aske's School, Elstree.

He received his PhD in neuroscience from the University of Cambridge in 1992.
Research and career
Franklin is a pioneer in the biology of remyelination, an area where he has made many seminal contributions. These include, 1) identifying the role of the innate immune response, 2) the effects of ageing and how these can be reversed, 3) the activation and plasticity of CNS stem cells following injury (including the origin of the remyelinating cells of the CNS), 4)
the transcriptional and epigenetic control of CNS stem cell differentiation; and 5) the first demonstrations of remyelination by transplanted oligodendrocyte progenitor cells and olfactory ensheathing cells. His studies on RXR and metformin in the context of CNS remyelination have led to clinical trials.
