Biomedical Seminar Series

Join Erik Musiek, MD, PhD, as he presents, “Circadian clock genes and Neurodegeneration.”

Erik Musiek is an Assistant Professor of Neurology at Washington University in St. Louis and an investigator in the Knight Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center.  He completed his MD/PhD training at Vanderbilt University in 2007, studying oxidative stress in the brain.  He then completed Neurology residency at the University of Pennsylvania, where he initiated studies of circadian clock gene function in the brain in the lab of Dr. Garret FitzGerald.  He then moved to Washington University in St. Louis for a fellowship in Memory Disorders and postdoctoral training in the lab of Dr. David Holtzman.  He joined the faculty at WashU in 2013 and started his own lab which is focused on the function of circadian clock genes in the brain and mechanisms linking circadian function to neurodegeneration.  He is the recipient of the Canby Robinson Scholarship at Vanderbilt, the Zeritsky Prize for Outstanding Resident Research at Penn, and the Kopolow Award for Aging Research at WashU.
