Maria K. Lehtinen, Ph.D.
Hannah C. Kinney, MD, Chair in Pediatric Pathology Research
Boston Children’s Hospital
Professor of Pathology, Harvard Medical School
Dr. Lehtinen received her Ph.D. in Neurobiology from Harvard University where she trained with Dr. Azad Bonni on molecular mechanisms regulating neuronal survival and death. She carried out early postdoctoral training with Anna-Elina Lehesjoki (University of Helsinki). In later training with Dr. Christopher A. Walsh (Harvard), they found that secreted factors in the CSF play active roles in instructing the development and health of the mammalian brain. Dr. Lehtinen established her own laboratory at Boston Children’s Hospital in 2012, where she takes an interdisciplinary approach to study the choroid plexus-CSF-system in the brain, with applications ranging from neural development to age-associated neurologic diseases. Dr. Lehtinen currently holds the Hannah C. Kinney, MD, Chair in Pediatric Pathology Research.
