Fred H. Gage discusses genetics
Fred H. Gage discusses genetics and brain development during an event that asked: "How are Humans Different from Other Great Apes?"
Fred H. Gage is Professor in the Laboratory of Genetics, the Vi and John Adler Chair for Research on Age-Related Neurodegenerative Disease at the Salk Institute, and Co-Director of UCSD/Salk Center for Academic Research and Training in Anthropogeny (CARTA) at UC San Diego.
Dr. Gage’s work concentrates on the adult central nervous system and unexpected plasticity and adaptability to environmental stimulation that remains throughout the life of all mammals. In addition, he models human neurological and psychiatric disease in vitro using human stem cells. His lab also studies the genomic mosaicism that exists in the brain as a result of mobile elements that are active during neurogenesis.
Prior to joining Salk, Dr. Gage was a Professor of Neuroscience at the University of California, San Diego. He served as President of the Society for Neuroscience in 2002 and as President for the International Society for Stem Cell Research in 2012.
He is a Fellow of the American Association of the Advancement of Science and a Member of the National Academy of Sciences, National Academy of Medicine, and American Philosophical Society. He is a foreign member of the European Molecular Biology Organization.
He was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2005.
