Biography:
Jack Rogers, PhD. is a leading authority on the role that RNA plays in the maintenance of iron homeostasis related to disease processes in neurodegeneration, including manganese neurotoxicity and Parkinsons disease. He is the Director of the Neurochemistry Laboratory in the Psychiatry/ NEUROSCIENCE Department at Massachusetts General Hospital. Jack is an Associate Professor at the Harvard Medical School, having a funded track-record in established scientific journals (Cell, J. Biol. Chem. and PNAS). His peer review publications won him a Zenith award from the Alzheimers Association on translational control by iron and related disease progression. He is contributing his efforts to treat Mn toxicity and PD by pharmacological modulation of iron homeostasis towards neural survival.
