Joel Blanchard, PhD, is an Investigator in the Black Family Stem Cell Institute, The Ronald Loeb Center for Alzheimer’s Disease, and an Assistant Professor in the Departments of Neuroscience, and Cell, Developmental and Regenerative Biology. He trained in stem cell biology and neuroscience at Harvard University and The Scripps Research Institute and completed post-doctoral studies at MIT. The Blanchard lab aims to develop cutting-edge in vitro models of the human brain. We then apply these models in conjunction with studies on post-mortem human brain tissue to understand and therapeutically target genetic and environmental vulnerabilities to neurodegeneration.

Physicians and scientists on the faculty of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai often interact with pharmaceutical, device, biotechnology companies, and other outside entities to improve patient care, develop new therapies and achieve scientific breakthroughs. In order to promote an ethical and transparent environment for conducting research, providing clinical care and teaching, Mount Sinai requires that salaried faculty inform the School of their outside financial relationships.

Dr. Blanchard has not yet completed reporting of Industry relationships.

Mount Sinai's faculty policies relating to faculty collaboration with industry are posted on our website. Patients may wish to ask their physician about the activities they perform for companies.
