Biography
Harvard Medical School
Mark W. Albers is a neurologist specializing in memory and olfactory disorders. He earned a PhD in organic chemistry from Harvard University, working in the laboratory of Stuart Schreiber, and an MD degree from the H.S.T. program of Harvard Medical School and M.I.T. He was an internal medicine resident for two years at Massachusetts General Hospital and then trained in neurology at Mass General, and Brigham and Women's Hospital, where he was one of the first chief residents for the Mass General Brigham neurology residency program. Following clinical training, he resumed basic research studies in the laboratory of Richard Axel and practiced behavioral neurology in the Memory Disorders Center at the Neurological Institute, affiliated with Columbia University. Following this training, he returned to Mass General where he sees outpatients in the Memory Disorders Unit and attends on the inpatient neurologic wards. His clinical research is focused on devising sensitive probes of olfactory function as a possible biomarker for early neurodegenerative disease and directly converting olfactory neuronal precursor cells from the nose into brain neurons to develop cell-based models of neurologic disease. He is a member of the Translational Neuroscience committee of the American Academy of Neurology.
