Jeffrey Macklis

BIOGRAPHY

ACADEMIC POSITIONS:
• Professor, Stem Cell and Regenerative Biology, Harvard University
• Director, MGH-HMS Center for Nervous System Repair
• Neurosurgery (Neuroscience) and Neurology, and Program in Neuroscience, Harvard Medical School
• Program Head, Neuroscience, Harvard Stem Cell Institute, Harvard University

EDUCATION:
He attended MIT, Harvard Medical School, and graduate school at MIT. within the Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology (HST). He was a postdoc in developmental neuroscience with Richard Sidman at Harvard Medical School. He trained clinically in Internal Medicine at Brigham and Women's Hospital and adult neurology in the Harvard-Longwood Neurological Training Program.

RESEARCH INTERESTS:
Jeffrey D Macklis' laboratory is directed toward the cellular repair of complex cerebral cortex and cortical output circuitry (including cortico-spinal motor neuron circuitry). The lab focuses on neural precursor/'stem cell' biology, neocortical projection neuron differentiation, functional neuronal circuit repair via transplantation, and induction of neurogenesis by molecular manipulation of endogenous neural precursors/stem cells within murine neocortex.
