Jon Bernstein

Professor of Pediatrics (Genetics) and, by courtesy, of Genetics
Clinical Focus
Clinical Genetics and Genomics, Rare Diseases, Undiagnosed Diseases, Autism, Developmental Disorders, Craniofacial Conditions, Craniosynostosis, Cleft Lip, Cleft Palate
Research Interests
My research is focused on the diagnosis, discovery and delineation of rare genetic conditions with a focus on neurodevelopmental disorders. This work includes the application of novel computational methods and multi-omics profiling (whole genome sequencing, long-read DNA sequencing, RNA sequencing, methylomics, metabolomics). I additionally participate in an interdisciplinary project to develop induced pluripotent stem cell and assembloid models of genetic neurodevelopmental disorders.

Ching Chieh Chou

Basic Life Research Scientist, Biology
Research Interests
I am interested in the cellular strategies to regulate protein folding, transport and aggregation, and the pathogenic pathways leading to proteome remodeling in age-related neurodegenerative diseases. I use molecular imaging, cell reprogramming and multi-omics technologies to address these questions with importance to the aging and neuroscience field.

John W. Day, MD, PhD

Professor of Neurology and Neurological Sciences (Adult Neurology), of Pediatrics (Genetics) and, by courtesy, of Pathology
Clinical Focus
Neuromuscular Medicine
Research Interests
Our Neuromuscular Division coordinates a comprehensive effort to conquer peripheral nerve and muscle disorders, including the muscular dystrophies, motor neuron disorders, neuromuscular junction abnormalities, and peripheral neuropathies. With patients and families foremost in mind, we have had success defining and combating these diseases, with research focused on identifying genetic causes, developing novel treatment, and maximizing patient function by optimizing current management.

Aaron D. Gitler

Stanford Medicine Basic Science Professor
Research Interests
We investigate the mechanisms of human neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer disease, Parkinson disease, and ALS. We don't limit ourselves to one model system or experimental approach. We start with yeast, perform genetic and chemical screens, and then move to other model systems (e.g. mammalian tissue culture, mouse, fly) and even work with human patient samples (tissue sections, patient-derived cells, including iPS cells) and next generation sequencing approaches.

George E. and Lucy Becker Professor of Medicine and Professor, by courtesy, of Neurosurgery
Clinical Focus
Alzheimer's Disease, Huntington Disease, Neurology
Research Interests
Clinical interests include Alzheimer's disease and Huntington's disease and the development of effective therapeutics for these disorders. Laboratory interests encompass the elucidation of signaling mechanisms relevant to neurodegenerative disorders and the development of novel small molecule approaches for the treatment of neurodegenerative and other neurological disorders.
