Pete Vanderveen Chair in Therapeutic Discovery and Development. Brinton is also professor of Biomedical Engineering in the USC Viterbi School of Engineering and professor of Neurology in the Keck School of Medicine of USC. Brinton was named one of the “Ten Best Minds” by U.S. News and World Report, “Woman of the Year” by the California State Senate, and “Science Educator of the Year” by the Society for Neuroscience. Brinton received the Presidential Citizens Medal for her decades of commitment to science education through the USC Science, Technology and Research STAR Program. She also developed and directed Preclinical Translation and Regulatory Support Program at the USC Clinical and Translational Science Institute. Brinton leads the Norris Foundation Laboratory for Neuroscience Research, where her science spans discovery, translational and clinical research in Alzheimer’s disease. Her team focuses on the mechanisms underlying risk of Alzheimer’s disease and the development of therapeutic strategies to prevent, delay and treat the disease. Her discovery and translational research has led to two National Institute on Aging clinical trials, one to prevent Alzheimer’s disease and another to treat early stages of the disease by promoting endogenous regeneration of the brain.
