Dr. Aaron DiAntonio is the Alan A. and Edith L. Wolff Professor in the Department of Developmental Biology and co-Director of the Needleman Center for Neurometabolism and Axonal Therapeutics at the Washington University School of Medicine. His laboratory combines genetics, cell biology, biochemistry, and physiology in both Drosophila and mouse to investigate molecular mechanisms that control the formation, maintenance, and repair of neural circuits in development and disease. His laboratory is now translating these fundamental mechanistic insights into novel therapies for the treatment of neurological disease. Dr. DiAntonio is a scientific founder and co-chair of the Scientific Advisory Board for Disarm Therapeutics.
