Robert A. Marr
Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science, USA
Title: Amyloid-beta regulation in Alzheimer's disease
Dr Marr received his undergraduate degree in applied biochemistry from the University of Guelph, Guelph, Ontario, Canada. Afterwards he did his graduate work in the laboratory of Dr. Frank Graham at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada where he worked on gene therapy for cancer. After receiving his Ph.D. in Molecular Biology Genetics and Cancer from McMaster he moved to the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla California. There his work in the laboratory of Dr. Inder Verma was primarily on the application of gene transfer technology to the study and treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Dr. Marr has received funding from the Medical Research Council of Canada (1998) and from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (2000). He has been awarded the Lee Nielson Roth Award for Cancer Research from McMaster University (1997), and the Excellence in Research Award from the American Society for Gene Therapy (2003). While at Rosalind Franklin University, he has received a Schweppe Foundation Carrier Development Award (2007), a New Investigator Research Grant from the Alzheimer's Association (2008), and a grant from the Alzheimer's Drug Discovery Foundation (2009).
