Welcome to our new Chair
The Department of Neurosciences is pleased to welcome William C. Mobley, MD, PhD, as Chair of the Department. Dr. Mobley was formerly the John E. Cahill Family Professor in the Department of Neurology and Neurological Sciences at Stanford University Medical Center. He is a clinician and researcher who is internationally known for his work on degenerative diseases of the central nervous system and the neurobiology of Down syndrome, and he has successfully held leadership positions at UCSF and Stanford.
“We are truly fortunate that Dr. Mobley will be at the helm of the prestigious team of researchers and physicians in UC San Diego’s neurosciences department, one of the top-ranked neurosciences departments in the nation for NIH funding,” said David Brenner, MD, Vice Chancellor for Health Sciences and Dean of the School of Medicine. “It takes a unique person, one with expertise in patient care, research and leadership, to direct this department. Bill Mobley is one of these rare people, and we expect him to play a key role both here at UC San Diego and within the area’s neurosciences community.”
“UC San Diego’s neurosciences department has the ability to change the game for people with neurological diseases, and we intend to do just that,” said Mobley. “The researchers and clinicians here are the best in the world at what they do.”
