At the onset of the pandemic, Kampmann lab members Ruilin Tian, Avi Samelson, Xiaoyan Guo, Merissa Chen and Gokul Ramadoss decided that they wanted to leverage the lab's CRISPR-based screening platform to uncover host factors for SARS-CoV-2 infection, which are potential therapeutic targets…
Indigo Rose, Neuroscience student in the Kampmann lab, was named a UCSF CIRM Scholar.
The scholarship will support Indigo's research on neuronal and glial mechanisms of neurodegeneration using iPSC models in combination with CRISPR-based functional genomics.

Olivia Teter, Bioengineering student in the Kampmann lab, was named a 2021 Discovery fellow.
Discovery fellows are advanced PhD students chosen to serve as ambassadors for basic science education based on their leadership potential, excellence in research, community-mindedness, and…
Postdoctoral Fellow and Neuropathology fellow Dr. Biswarathan (Biswa) Ramani received an R25 fellowship from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS/NIH) to investigate how differences in the proteostasis environment of the cytosol and the nucleus drive protein…
In a new paper published in Nature Neuroscience, the Kampmann lab conducted the first genome-wide CRISPR-based screens in human neurons, and uncovered a new pathway protecting neurons from oxidative stress.
A hallmark of neurodegenerative diseases is that specific neurons are vulnerable, whereas others are resilient. While selectively vulnerable neurons are well-characterized for Parkinson’s Disease and ALS, much less is known about those neurons most vulnerable to Alzheimer’s Disease, the most common…
Postdoctoral Fellow Dr. Xiaoyan Guo received the 2020 John S. Spice Award in Aging and was named the 2020 Distinguished Research Scientist by the Larry L. Hillblom Foundation.
This award recognized Xiaoyan's groundbreaking discovery of the molecular pathway by which human mitochondria…
Martin Kampmann was named one of three inaugural Cell Science Junior Fellows of the Allen Institute.
In this role, he will provide advice to the Allen Institute for Cell Science as part of the scientific advisory councils, and strengthen scientific collaborations between the Kampmann Lab and the…
Gokul Ramadoss, joined BMS graduate student in the Kampmann and Conklin labs, was named a 2020 Discovery fellow.
