Presenter details
Ian Guldner, PhD
Instructor, Neurology and Neurological Sciences
Stanford University
Dr. Guldner is an instructor at Stanford University in the lab of Tony Wyss-Coray. He has developed novel in vivo tools to tag proteins in a cell-specific manner during protein synthesis. Using these tools, he has provided new insights into how neuronal proteome maintenance changes with age. For this work, Ian has received the NIH K99/R00 Pathway to Independence Award as well as several invitations to present his work around the globe.
Prior to his postdoc, Ian earned his PhD at the University of Notre Dame in Siyuan Zhang’s lab. During his graduate studies, he contributed new knowledge on how the immune system responds to and regulates brain metastasis outgrowth. In the future, Dr. Guldner aims to lead his own research group, studying how brain cells communicate via protein exchange and how this communication influences aging and brain disease phenotypes.
