Dr. Daniel Mordes is a neuropathologist focused on understanding neurodegenerative diseases, including ALS, frontotemporal dementia, and Parkinson's disease. He is the Stuart Lindsay Professor in Experimental Pathology IV in the Department of Pathology and an Assistant Professor in the Institute for Neurodegenerative Diseases (IND) at UCSF. His research group integrates human stem cell-derived neuronal models and patient brain samples to study neurodegeneration at the Mission Bay campus.
Why I work at the IND: Neurodegenerative diseases affect millions of people worldwide. I feel privileged to play even a minor role in helping those people.
