Erin Gibson - Assistant Professor of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences
Bio-X Affiliated Faculty
Stanford Profile
Dr. Gibson's Lab Homepage
How do glia sculpt neural circuits and how does dysregulation of glia contribute to disease? Glia make up more than half of the cells in the human brain, but we are just beginning to understand the complex and multifactorial role glia play in health and disease. Glia are decidedly dynamic in form and function. Understanding the mechanisms underlying the dynamic nature of glia is imperative to developing novel therapeutic strategies for diseases of the nervous system that involve aberrant gliogenesis.
Jeffrey L. Goldberg - Blumenkranz Smead Professor
Bio-X Affiliated Faculty
Stanford Profile
Dr. Goldberg's research is directed at neuroprotection and regeneration of retinal ganglion cells and the optic nerve, a major unmet need in glaucoma and other optic neuropathies, and his laboratory is developing novel stem cell and nanotherapeutics approaches for eye repair.
