Julia Kaltschmidt is a Professor in the Department of Neurosurgery at Stanford Medical School and a Faculty Scholar at the Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute. She received her undergraduate degree in Molecular Biology and Biochemistry from the University of Madison, Wisconsin, and completed her PhD in Developmental Biology at the University of Cambridge in the UK. Following her postdoctoral training at Columbia University, she developed a focus on understanding the mechanisms underlying circuit connectivity in the spinal cord using mouse models. Kaltschmidt's laboratory aims to expand the understanding of the enteric nervous system (ENS), a complex network of neurons that control gastrointestinal function. Her team has been pioneering techniques to map the organization of ENS circuits, collaborating with clinical gastroenterologists and bioengineers to investigate how ENS organization affects gastrointestinal health and disease. Kaltschmidt has received numerous grants and awards, emphasizing her research excellence and contributions to the field of neuroscience, especially concerning neuronal circuit formation and gut motility.
