Tsuneya Ikezu, M.D., Ph.D.

Associate Professor, Department of Pharmacology and Experimental Neuroscience Associate Director, Center for Neurovirology and Neurodegenerative Disorders Description: Dr. Ikezu was born in Tokyo, Japan, obtained MD-PhD (Clinical Pharmacology in Major) from University of Tokyo School of Medicine, and had post-doctoral training at UCSF (Immunology), Harvard Medical School (Clinical Pharmacology), and Cleveland Clinic Foundation (Neuroscience). He is currently Associate Professor of Pharmacology and Experimental Neuroscience, and Associate Director of Center for Neurovirology and Neurodegenerative Disorders, University of Nebraska Medical Center Howard E. Gendelman, M.D.

Larson Professor of Internal Medicine and Infectious Diseases Chair, Department of Pharmacology and Experimental Neuroscience Director, Center for Neurovirology and Neurodegenerative Disorders Dr. Howard Gendelman is the Larson Professor of Medicine and Chair of the Department of Pharmacology and Experimental Neuroscience and Director of the Center for Neurovirology and Neurodegenerative Disorders at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. He received his medical degree from Pennsylvania State University followed by fellowship training and faculty appointments at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, the Johns Hopkins University Medical Center, the National Institutes of Health, and the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research. He has gained international attention for his work on common mechanisms of nerve damage in Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and HIV-1-associated dementia. His research has lead to groundbreaking discoveries on how inflammation causes nerve cell damage and how drugs and vaccines can be used to reverse it.tious Diseases Chair, Department of Pharmacology and Experimental Neuroscience Director, Center for Neurovirology and Neurodegenerative Disorders Dr. Howard Gendelman is the Larson Professor of Medicine and Chair of
