Aaron Raymond Haeusler was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Johns Hopkins University. In the lab of Dr. Jiou Wang, Aaron worked to identify the molecular defects caused by the C9orf72 mutation, and offer potential therapies to alleviate the cellular defects that can lead to the associated age-dependent neurological disorders. Aaron earned his Ph.D. in Biochemistry from the University of Maryland and his B.S. in Biochemistry from Northern Michigan University. Currently, Dr. Haeusler is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Neuroscience at Thomas Jefferson University.
