Dr. Ron McKay is a doctor and researcher. He is the Chief of the Laboratory of Molecular Biology in the Basic Neuroscience Program at the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS).
In a 1988 paper McKay provided the first clear proof that neuronal precursors could be identified. These studies have generated a series of important insights into the properties of stem cells in the developing and adult nervous system. His work influences strategies for cell- and gene-based therapies for CNS disease. He is a sought-after speaker and has been on the editorial boards of several major journals, including “The Journal of Neuroscience”, “The European Journal of Neuroscience”, and “Molecular and Cellular Neuroscience”.
