Profile Summary

I am currently a Professor Emeritus, Department of Neurology, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. Before coming to UCLA, I was a Professor of Neuroscience at Harvard Medical School. My research foci have been the causes and treatment of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Huntington's, and Creutzfeldt-Jakob diseases. I have published 177 peer-reviewed publications, 28 book chapters, 11 books (editor), 33 invited commentaries, 20 review articles, and have served on 37 review committees and 11 national/international scientific advisory boards. My work has been multidisciplinary, drawing from fields including biochemistry, molecular biology and genetics, biophysics, chemistry, and clinical medicine. I am Editor-in-Chief of the Elsevier series Progress in Molecular Biology and Translational Science and have served as Editor or Editorial Board Member/Reviewer for 94 other journals.
