About
Biography
I serve as a tenured professor at The Ohio State University and holds the Gilbert and Kathryn Mitchell Endowed Chair at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. I also serve as director of The Ohio State University’s Brain Health Performance Center.
In addition to my work at The Ohio State University, I am the co-founder of MedGenesis Therapeutix Inc., Voyager Therapeutics Inc. and Brain Neuropathy Bio Inc. I hold the position of professor emeritus and vice chair for research at the University of California at San Francisco, and I served as the former chief of molecular therapeutics at the National Institutes of Health. Additionally, I am the director of the Interventional Neuro Centers at Brodno Hospital in Warsaw, Poland, and the University of California at San Francisco.
Throughout my career, I have authored over 230 peer-reviewed articles and developed numerous patents for surgical devices and more. Currently, I am leading two ongoing gene therapy clinical trials in Parkinson’s disease and in pediatric neurotransmitter deficiency.
