Stephan N. Witt is a Professor in the Department of Biochemistry
and Molecular Biology at the Louisiana State University Health
Sciences Center in Shreveport, Louisiana. He obtained his PhD in
biophysical chemistry from the California Institute of
Technology.??Dr. Witt is a member of the editorial board of Cell
Stress and Chaperones. He has served on numerous NIH study
sections, has authored over forty scientific publications, and
edited a book on using yeast as a model for human disease. His
research focuses on identifying genes and small molecules that can
be used against Parkinson's disease.
