Dr. Ehrenberg is an investigator specializing in neurodegenerative disease biology and therapeutic development. His background spans neuropathology, genetics, and cell biology with a particular focus on the mechanisms underlying selective vulnerability – why certain cells are vulnerable to neurodegenerative diseases and others are not. His team combines neuropathology, functional genomics, and advanced histology/optical techniques such as spatial transcriptomics to discover novel disease mechanisms. They then leverage those mechanisms as targets for CRISPR-based therapeutic development. He and his team span the UCSF Edward and Perl Fein Memory and Aging Center and the Innovative Genomics Institute at UC Berkeley.
