    Joseph Gleeson is the Rady Professor of Neurosciences and Pediatrics at UCSD, Director of Neurosciences at the Rady Children's Institute for Genomic Medicine, and CMO of the n-Lorem Foundation. His goal is to understand causes of pediatric brain diseases including autism, epilepsy and spina bifida, to improve outcomes. The lab has sequenced a cohort of 10,000 patients, and uncovered many causes of disease, including recessive and somatic mutations, and determined that many conditions have potential points of treatment. The n-Lorem Foundation seeks to develop and provide personalized antisense drugs to patients ‘for free, for life’. Dr. Gleeson received an M.D. degree from the University of Chicago, residency in pediatrics and neurology at Children’s Hospital, Boston and research fellowship at Harvard Medical School. Awards include Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative Investigator, Howard Hughes Investigator, Klingenstein Award in the Neurosciences, the Searle Scholars Award, the Burroughs Wellcome Fund Translational Research Award, the Sachs award from the Child Neurology Society, and the Lieber Prize for Innovation in Developmental Neuroscience. Dr. Gleeson was named a member of the National Academy of Medicine in 2013.
