Dr Craig Shimasaki, PhD joins Dr Ruth Allan on the 58th Episode of 'Brain Health: Unchaining Your Pain' and 18th Episode in series 3
Dr Shimasaki is a scientist and inventor with a passion to translate scientific and medical discoveries into acutely needed products so that more patients can live longer, healthier lives
He is the cofounder and CEO of Moleculera Labs, a neuroimmunology precision medicine company focused on identifying the underlying roots of neurologic, psychiatric, and behavioural disorders triggered by an autoimmune response
Dr Shimasaki started his career at Genentech and continued to work across all stages of research, development, clinical trials, and regulatory approval of technology from bench-to-bedside, and has spent over 35 years working in the fields of molecular biology, viral pathogenesis, and infection-triggered neuropsychiatric disorders
His research work includes epitope mapping of HIV proteins, genetic-based predictors of breast cancer risk, influenza and RSV diagnostics and therapeutics, and for the past 10 years, the pathogenesis of infection-triggered neuropsychiatric disorders
He has co-founded multiple companies and led multiple products through the FDA approval process and is a co-inventor on multiple patents. Dr Shimasaki received his BS in Biochemistry from the University of California at Davis, his PhD in Molecular Biology from the University of Tulsa, and his MBA from Northwestern University, Kellogg School of Business
He is an Adjunct Professor at the University of Oklahoma. Internationally, he teaches and mentors scientists, physicians and biotech leaders in how to translate their discoveries into acutely needed medical interventions
In this episode Dr Shimasaki shares his wisdom on Autoimmune Brain Disorders and how to recognise and address them. He talks about the challenges in applying the appropriate treatment, the common symptoms experienced and the impact on your brain when your immune system starts to attack it when your antibodies cross the blood-brain barrier, and so much more...
