Michael Gorin, M.D., Ph.D.

Biography

Michael B. Gorin, MD, PhD, is the currently the first recipient of the Harold and Pauline Price Chair in Ophthalmology and Professor of Ophthalmology in the Retina and Vision Science Divisions in the Department of Ophthalmology at the David Geffen School of Medicine ? UCLA and Jules Stein Eye Institute. He also holds an appointment in the Vision Research Division at the Jules Stein Eye Institute. Dr. Gorin obtained his medical and doctor of philosophy degrees from the University of Pennsylvania at Philadelphia and completed his internship at the Center for Health Sciences at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA). He stayed on at UCLA for postdoctoral research fellowship and ophthalmology residency training at the Jules Stein Eye Institute, and then finished a clinical fellowship in Medical Retina and Genetics at Moorfields Eye Hospital in London, England. Dr. Gorin returned to UCLA from the University of Pittsburgh, where he served as Assistant Vice Chancellor for Strategic Initiatives for the six graduate health sciences schools. He joined the Pittsburgh campus in 1990, rising to the rank of Professor in the Department of Ophthalmology in the School of Medicine and the Department of Human Genetics in the Graduate School of Public Health and serving as interim chair for both departments. He was founding director of the Center for Human Genetics and a founding senior associate of the Center for Biomedical Informatics at the University. Throughout his 16 years in Pittsburgh, he has provided clinical care on a regular basis in medical retina particularly in the fields of hereditary disorders, retinal diagnostics, drug-related ocular toxicity, and ophthalmic genetics. During 2005-2007, he was named one of the top physicians in the United States by Castle Connolly Medical Ltd. As a full-time faculty member at the Jules Stein Eye Institute, Dr. Gorin divides his time between patient care for diseases of the retina, research into the genetics of inherited eye disorders and training young ophthalmologists and medical students.

Zhefeng Guo, Ph.D.

Biography

Zhefeng Guo is a structural biologist and biochemist who joined the UCLA School of Medicine faculty in 2008. Dr. Guo earned his B.S. in Microbiology (1995) at Shandong University and M.S. in Biochemistry (1998) at Peking University in China. Then Dr. Guo came to the United States for graduate studies and received his Ph.D. in Biochemistry (2003) at UCLA, where he was focused on developing electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) methods to study protein structure, dynamics, and folding in Wayne Hubbell’s laboratory. In 2004, Dr. Guo joined David Eisenberg’s research group for postdoc training, working on the structural characterization of amyloid fibrils using the approaches of protein engineering and X-ray crystallography. His laboratory is currently investigating the structure and fibrillization mechanism of amyloid fibrils related to a wide range of human disorders such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and prion diseases, with the goal of developing molecular diagnostics and therapeutics for amyloid diseases

Karen Gylys, R.N., Ph.D.

Biography

Karen Hoppens Gylys is a neuroscientist who joined the faculty of the School of Nursing and the Brain Research Institute in 1998. Dr. Gylys earned a B.S. degree in Nursing and a M.S. degree in Human Development at the University of Texas, Dallas. She received her Ph.D. in Neuroscience, with a major in neuropharmacology, at UCLA in 1993, and did postdoctoral work on molecular mechanisms of opioid tolereance in the NPI. Since joining the faculty of the School of Nursing, she has taught pharmacology and research in the School of Nursing and is actively involved in the BRI. Her laboratory research is focused on understanding the dysfunction and loss of synapses that occurs in Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and she has pioneered the use of flow cytometry for the analysis of synaptosomes.  Her projects use primarily human postmortem AD samples and mouse models of the disease.  Research interests include neuroinflammation and APOE risk for AD, the single biggest genetic risk, which can also be also protective.  Recent projects have isolated brain cell types from human postmortem samples in order to study microglial and astrocyte effects on AD progression.  We also have new projects looking at exosome mechanisms in pathology and signaling between cortical cell types.

Ming Guo, M.D., Ph.D.

Biography

Ming Guo, M.D., Ph.D., is P. Gene & Elaine Smith Chair in Alzheimer’s Disease Research and Professor at UCLA Department of Neurology, Molecular and Medical Pharmacology. As a practicing Neurologist, she sees patients with memory disorders, neurodegenerative and neurogenetic disorders, referred from both domestic and international sources. As a researcher, her lab investigates molecular mechanisms of the two most common neurodegenerative disorders, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. Mutations in PINK1 and PARKIN lead to inherited forms of Parkinson’s disease. Her lab is one of the first two labs worldwide to report the function of PINK1, and to discover that PINK1, a mitochondria-localized serine-threonine kinase, and PARKIN, an E3 ubiquitin ligase, act in a common genetic pathway to regulate mitochondrial integrity and mitochondrial quality control. Her work has wide-range implications for controlling processes in aging, and other aging-related diseases including other neurodegenerative disorders, heart disease and metabolic disorders. Dr. Guo is an elected member of the American Neurological Association (ANA), and has received many awards. She is an Alfred P. Sloan Foundation fellow, a McKnight Neuroscience Foundation Brain Disorder Awardee, an Ellison Medical Foundation Senior Scholar in Aging, a Klingenstein-Simon’s Fellow in Neuroscience, and the Klingenstein-Simon Foundation Robert H. Ebert Clinical Scholar. Her work is also supported by the National Institute of Health (NIH) EUREKA (Exceptional Unconventional Research Enabling Knowledge Acceleration) award. In addition, she was selected to receive the ANA Derek Denny Brown Neurological Scholar Award that is given to one or two awardees each year, and the John Walsh Young Investigator Award, which is given to one Assistant or Associate professor every three years for their research creativity at UCLA. Dr. Guo is actively involved in community service. She is Chair of the Board of Scientific Counselors at the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NIH/NINDS). She also serves as a member of a Blue Ribbon Panel for the NIH/NINDS, the ANA Scientific Program Advisory Committee, the Society of Neuroscience Program Committee, and the Scientific Advisory Committee of the A.P. Giannini Foundation in California.
