Dr. Judith Steen is an associate professor of neurobiology at Harvard Medical School, a member of the Harvard Stem Cell Institute, and director of the Neuroproteomics Laboratory in the F. M. Kirby Neuroscience Center at Boston Children’s Hospital. The Steen lab is a leader in developing novel, high-throughput analytical and computational workflows of human specimens; data analysis pipelines and pioneered methods for comprehensive protein mapping and quantifying chemical modifications and splice forms in human disease. These studies interface qualitative and quantitative proteomics data with clinical and genetic human data using computational approaches to understand human disease. Dr. Steen and her group are applying quantitative proteomics of human central nervous system tissues and body fluids to preventing neurodegeneration and promoting regeneration after degeneration. Several neurodegenerative conditions, including Alzheimer’s Disease and Parkinson’s Disease, are a focus of the lab.
