Ignacio Mata, PhD, is Assistant Professor at Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine. He hold a Bachelor of Science and PhD in Human/Medical Genetics from la Universidad de Oviedo in Asturias, Spain, and he received his PhD in Neurogenetics from Mayo Clinic. Dr. Mata's lab is working towards identifying and understanding the genes that play a role in those diseases that affect the brain (neurological disorders). These include the very well-known Parkinson’s disease (PD), but also other less common disorders such as a form of PD that presents with severe cognitive problems/dementia (PDD) and another type of dementia called Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB).
