Dorian McGavern Ph.D., Investigator
Dr. McGavern received his B.S degree in microbiology from The Pennsylvania State University and his Ph.D. in molecular neuroscience from the Mayo Clinic. Following an academic appointment as an Associate Professor in the Department of Immunology and Microbial Sciences at The Scripps Research Institute, Dr. McGavern joined the NINDS in March 2009. Dr. McGavern is the recipient of the prestigious Ray Thomas Edwards Foundation Award and the Burroughs Wellcome Fund Pathogenesis of Infectious Disease Award. His laboratory at the NIH is focused on states of acute and persistent viral infection of the central nervous system (CNS). As Chief of the Viral Immunology and Intravital Imaging Unit, Dr. McGavern investigates the impact of viral infections on the CNS as well as how the innate and adaptive immune systems respond to pathogens in this privileged compartment.
