[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]The Grass Foundation-ANA Award in Neuroscience<\/a> was established in 2007 to\u00a0recognize outstanding young physician-scientists conducting research in\u00a0basic or clinical neuroscience. The award is given at the annual ANA meeting in the Fall.<\/p>\n

Claire Dudley Clelland<\/a> is the 2024 winner of the Grass Foundation-ANA Award in Neuroscience. Dr. Clelland is an Assistant Professor in the UCSF Department of Neurology. As a neurologist, she specializes in caring for patients with dementia and cognitive symptoms at the UCSF Memory & Aging Center. Her lab at the UCSF Weill Institute for Neurosciences develops novel therapies for neurodegenerative diseases. Her current work centers on creating novel CRISPR gene therapies for genetic forms of dementia and ALS, utilizing patient iPSCs to model disease, advanced sequencing technologies and cutting-edge CRISPR technologies to develop first-in-class gene therapies for CNS diseases. In addition, the Clelland lab is committed to promoting equity and justice in science in medicine. One of the pillars of the lab is the mentoring and advancement of trainees from underrepresented backgrounds to become the next generation of scientific leaders.<\/p>\n
