Gerard Schellenberg is an academic neuropathologist who specializes in the research of Alzheimer's disease. He is the director of Penn Neurodegeneration Genomics Center as well as a professor of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. [1]He is a leading contributor to Alzheimer's disease research.
Gerard Schellenberg received his Bachelor's Degree in Cell Biology with a minor in Biochemistry from the University of California, Riverside in 1973. He then went on to recieve his Ph.D. in Cell Biology with a minor in Biochemistry from the University of California at Riverside in 1978.[2] Schellenberg completed his postdoctoral research in neuroscience and genetics at the University of Washington in in 1983.
Research and Career
Schellenberg remained at the University of Washington as a faculty member in the departments of neurology, gerontology and geriatric medicine, and pharmacology. In 2008 Schellenberg joined the faculty at the University of Pennsylvania, Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine. Schellenberg is the principal investigator for the Alzheimer’s Disease Genetics Consortium, co-Principal Investigator for the Genome Center for Alzheimer’s Disease (GCAD), and one of the founders of the International Genomics of Alzheimer’s Disease Project (IGAP).
His research contributed to identification of genes responsible for neurodegenerative diseases, including the Presenilin 1 and Presenilin-2 genes for early-onset AD.[3] [4][5]
He was awarded the Potamkin Prize for Alzheimer’s Disease Research from the American Academy of Neurology in 1994, the Metropolitan Life Foundation Award for Medical Research in 1995, and was a Alzheimer's AssociationMedical Honoree in 1996. In 2004, the National Institute on Aging awarded him an R37 Merit Award for Genomic Analysis of Alzheimer’s Disease.
