About
Martin Kampmann is a pioneering neurobiologist and functional genomicist whose work has fundamentally advanced our understanding of cellular mechanisms in the brain. His research focuses on developing and applying innovative CRISPR-based screening platforms to systematically map genetic interactions and identify key regulators of neuronal function and dysfunction. Kampmann’s major contribution is the creation of a groundbreaking functional genomics platform for pooled screening, which enables the generation of comprehensive mammalian genetic interaction maps. This tool, detailed in his highly cited 2014 paper (102 citations), has revolutionized how researchers dissect complex cellular pathways and discover therapeutic targets for neurodegenerative diseases. His work has had a profound impact, with his most influential studies collectively cited over 1,000 times, reflecting their importance in the field. Notably, Kampmann has leveraged these approaches to uncover critical insights into Alzheimer’s disease, tau pathology, and neuronal stress responses. As a professor at the University of California, San Francisco, he continues to push boundaries in functional genomics, earning recognition as a leader in neurogenetics and CRISPR technology.
