Zlokovic, MD, PhD<\/a> is the director of the Zilkha Neurogenetic Institute and Professor and Chair of the Department of Physiology &amp; Neuroscience at the Keck School of Medicine of USC, and a Professor of Biological Sciences at the Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences.<\/p>\n<p>Zlokovic studies the role of brain microcirculation, particularly the blood-brain barrier (BBB) in health and disease in the adult brain and during brain aging. He made major contributions to our understanding of the role of BBB in the pathogenesis and treatment of Alzheimer\u2019s disease (AD) and stroke.<\/p>\n<p>Using animal models and studying human brain, his laboratory has shown that dysfunction in the BBB and brain microcirculation can accumulate before neuronal loss, and is an early biomarker of human cognitive dysfunction. His group showed that disrupted cross-talk between BBB-associated pericytes and brain capillary endothelial cells, and astrocytes and pericytes, within the neurovascular unit leads to neuronal dysfunction in both synapses and neurons, and that targeting the BBB cellular and molecular pathways can slow down, arrest and of prevent development of a neurodegenerative process.<\/p>\n<p>Zlokovic has identified genes and receptors at the BBB that regulate brain levels of Alzheimer\u2019s amyloid-beta toxin, which accumulates with aging and dementia. More recently, his team has developed new imaging techniques for studying BBB function in animal models and the living human brain. These findings contributed to development of Phase 2\/3 clinical trials for AD patients. He co-discovered with J.H. Griffin vasculoprotective, neuroprotective, and anti-inflammatory activities of activated protein C (APC) in the CNS, including the receptor requirements and downstream signaling pathways. These findings have been translated in successfully completed Phase 2 trial of 3K3A-APC, a 2nd generation cytoprotective-selective APC analog, in ischemic stroke patients, which led to a Phase 3 efficacy and safety pivotal trial of 3K3A-APC in patients with ischemic stroke.<\/p>\n<h4>Current research interests<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>We study humans at genetic risk for AD, and use transgenic models, and iPSC-based human models of the BBB and brain on a chip to understand how genes that carry risk for sporadic AD (e.g., APOE4, PICALM) affect the cerebrovascular system contributing to dementia, and AD disease onset and progression.<\/li>\n<li>We are developing cell and gene therapy approaches for AD using i) iPSC-derived human pericytes that express different protective target genes, and\/or ii) BBB cell-specific gene delivery to influence neuronal and synaptic functions.<\/li>\n<li>We study APC biologics and mimetic peptides for white matter stroke, AD and ALS.<\/li>\n<li>We work on identifying small molecules that influence genes\/pathways linked to AD.<\/li>\n<li>We work on CSF and imaging BBB biomarkers of human cognitive dysfunction.<\/li>\n<li>Recently, we have initiated studies to understand how gut microbiome influences BBB in relation to neuronal and synaptic functions using transgenic and human iPSC models.<\/li>\n<li>We initiated program on BBB molecular signatures (snRNAseq, proteome) in health and disease using transgenic and human models, and human brain tissue.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Zlokovic is recognized internationally as a leader in the fields of AD and stroke research. Thomson Reuters and Clarivate Analytics listed Zlokovic as one of \u201cThe World\u2019s Most Influential Scientific Minds\u201d for 18 consecutive years (2002-2020) for ranking in 1 % of the most-cited authors in the field of neurosciences and behavioral sciences. He received MetLife Award for Medical Research for \u201csignificant contributions to our understanding of Alzheimer\u2019s disease and for bringing us closer to a cure\u201d, Potamkin Prize from the American Academy of Neurology in recognition of outstanding achievements in research on Alzheimer\u2019s and related neurodegenerative diseases\u201d, Javits Award from NINDS in recognition of distinguished record of substantial contributions in a field of neurological sciences\u201d, MERIT Award from NIA in recognition of sustained contribution to aging and leadership and commitment to the field\u201d, and more recently USC Associates Award for Creativity in Research and Scholarship \u201cthe highest honor the university faculty bestows on its members for distinguished intellectual achievements\u201d He is a fellow of the AAAS, The European Academy of Sciences, and The Dana Alliance for Brain Initiative. In 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021, he was asked by the Nobel Assembly at Karolinska Institutet, The Nobel Committee to nominate candidates for the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine.
