Assistant Professor
Neurology
Claire Clelland, MD, PhD, MPhil aims to develop novel therapies for dementia and related neurodegenerative diseases. Her lab works to create new CRISPR gene editing approaches in human iPSC-derived cell types relevant to disease. They also work to build cell model systems that more faithfully replicate human disease.
