Biography:
Berislav V Zlokovic is University Professor, Director of the Zilkha Neurogenetic Institute, and professor and chair of the Department of Physiology and Neuroscience at the University of Southern California. He identified the cellular and molecular mechanisms causing blood-brain barrier (BBB) dysfunction and breakdown and showed that BBB dysfunction/breakdown can initiate neuronal and synaptic dysfunction and is an early biomarker of human cognitive impairment. Thomson Reuters/Clarivate Analytics listed Zlokovic as one of “The World’s Most Influential Scientific Minds” 2002-2023 for ranking in top one percent of the most-cited authors in the field of neurosciences and behavioral sciences for 21 consecutive years.
