| Mark P. Mattson, Ph.D., Senior Investigator |
 |
Dr. Mattson received his PhD from the University of Iowa and postdoctoral training in developmental neurobiology with Stan Kater at Colorado State University. He then joined the faculty at the Sanders-Brown Center on Aging at the University of Kentucky where he studied neuronal plasticity and the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders. In 2000, Dr. Mattson became Chief of the Laboratory of Neurosciences at the NIA Gerontology Research Center in Baltimore, and a Professor in the Department of Neuroscience at the Johns Hopkins University. He is editor of numerous journals, and has received many awards including the Metropolitan Life Foundation Award and the Alzheimer�s Association Zenith Award. Dr. Mattson�s laboratory is studying the molecular and cellular mechanisms responsible for neuronal dysfunction and death in age-related neurological disorders, and is working to identify environmental and genetic factors that allow individuals to age successfully with little or no brain dysfunction.
