"Uncovering Cellular Mechanisms of Brain Disease by CRISPR-based Functional Genomics"

Martin Kampmann, Ph.D.

Associate Professor

Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics

Institute for Neurodegenerative Diseases

University of California, San Francisco


Dr. Kampmann is an Associate Professor in the UCSF Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics and the Institute for Neurodegenerative Diseases. He received his BA in Biochemistry from Cambridge University and his PhD in Biophysics/Cell Biology from Rockefeller University. 


He co-invented the CRISPRi and CRISPRa screening technologies, and his lab has pioneered CRISPR-based screens in human brain cell types such as neurons, microglia and astrocytes. He leverages this unique technology to uncover mechanisms and new therapeutic strategies for Alzheimer’s Disease and other neurodegenerative diseases.  Dr. Kampmann was also named an NIH Director’s New Innovator, an Allen Distinguished Investigator, a Chan Zuckerberg Initiative Ben Barres Early Career Acceleration Award, and he received the Rainwater Prize for Innovative Early Career Scientists.
