About the Speaker
Dr. Gaiano is chief of the National Institute of Mental Health’s (NIMH) Extramural Review Branch, a position he obtained in May 2018. Before joining NIMH, Dr. Gaiano was at the NIH Center for Scientific Review for six years, spending the first three as a scientific research officer and the second three as a review branch chief. Dr. Gaiano obtained his Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, did his post-doctoral training at New York University Medical Center, and then in 2002 moved to a faculty position at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. His lab focused on the molecular regulation of cell fate determination during mammalian brain development. In 2012, after 10 years of running a well-funded and productive research program, Dr. Gaiano sought a career change and has found the move to the NIH, and more recently to NIMH, interesting and enjoyable.
