Biography
Mathew Blurton-Jones earned his Ph.D. in Neurosciences at the University of California, San Diego in 2002. His postdoctoral studies were pursued in the labs of Dr. Carl Cotman and Dr. Frank LaFerla at UC Irvine. As a postdoctoral fellow and then Assistant Researcher, Dr. Blurton-Jones studied the pathogenesis of Alzheimer disease (AD), transgenic modeling of neurodegeneration, and begun to examine the use of stem cells to treat AD. In July of 2011, Dr. Blurton-Jones joined the Department of Neurobiology and Behavior as an Assistant Professor and established his independent lab in the Sue and Bill Gross Stem Cell Center.
