Who is Eric M. Shooter?
Eric Shooter is a professor of neurobiology at the Stanford University School of Medicine. His research has dealt largely with understanding how nerves grow. He is perhaps best known discovering the protein known as nerve growth factor, which plays a key role in regrowing lost or damaged nerve cells. The discovery could someday make it possible to regrow nerves for those who have suffered spinal cord injuries, or to reverse the nerve degeneration that leads to Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases.
