Sangram S. Sisodia, PhD
Dr. Sisodia received his B.A. from the College of Wooster in Ohio and his Ph.D. in Biochemistry from the University of Georgia. He joined The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine as a Postdoctoral Fellow in 1985, where he rose to the rank of Professor of Pathology and Neuroscience. He then moved to The University of Chicago in 1998 to assume the Chairmanship in the Department of Neurobiology, Pharmacology and Physiology.
He is currently the Thomas Reynolds Sr. Family Professor of Neurosciences
and Director of the Center for Molecular Neurobiology at The University
of Chicago. Dr. Sisodia has used a variety of genetic, neurobiologic,
molecular and cellular information to clarify the biology of ??amyloid
precursor proteins (APP) and presenilins (PS) and the mechanisms by which
mutant genes cause Alzheimer’s Disease. Dr. Sisodia is the recipient
of several awards including: the American Academy of Neurology’s
Potamkin Prize for Alzheimer's Disease Research (1997); the Metropolitan
Life Foundation Award for Medical Research (1998); and in 2001, the Presidential
