Biography

Lawrence Steinman, MD, is the George Zimmermann Professor at Stanford University, specializing in the fields of Pediatrics, Neurology, and Neurological Sciences. His research primarily focuses on neuroimmunology, with a particular emphasis on autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis and myasthenia gravis. Steinman has developed new therapies for autoimmunity, most notably involving natalizumab, and has contributed significantly to clinical trials aimed at understanding the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis. He has been instrumental in establishing a biobank for MS and other demyelinating diseases, which is a valuable resource for scientists researching these conditions. Steinman has held several academic appointments at Stanford and is a member of the National Academy of Medicine and the National Academy of Sciences. His extensive list of awards includes the Anthony Cerami Award in Translational Medicine and the Charcot Award for Lifetime Achievement in MS Research.
