Aimee Kao, MD, PhD
Dr. Kao is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Neurology at UCSF. She studied Neuroscience at Brown University prior to receiving her MD and PhD degrees from the University of Iowa. There, she trained in the laboratory of Dr. Jeffrey Pessin, studying the cellular and molecular biology of insulin receptor signaling and GLUT4 trafficking. She completed an internship in Internal Medicine at the Beth Israel-Deaconess Medical Center in Boston and then a Neurology residency at the University of California, San Francisco where she was Chief Resident. She completed a one-year fellowship in Behavioral Neurology with Dr. Bruce Miller in the Dept. of Neurology and a post-doctoral research fellowship with Dr. Cynthia Kenyon in the Dept. of Biochemistry prior to starting her own lab in 2011.

Victoria Butler, PhD
Victoria studied Biological Natural Sciences at Downing College, Univ. of Cambridge, UK, specializing in Neuroscience. She completed her PhD in C. elegans cell biology with Dr. William Schafer at the MRC, Cambridge, where she investigated how the locomotion circuit coordinates movement and gait adaptation. She also spent time at the HHMI Janelia Farm Research Campus imaging calcium from freely moving worms. She uses C. elegans and cultured cells to understand progranulin biology.
