Dr. James Waschek is a Professor of Psychiatry and Biobehavioral Sciences at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), affiliated with the David Geffen School of Medicine. He works in the Neuroscience Research Building, focusing on molecular and cellular biology of neuropeptides.
- Education: Ph.D. in Pharmaceutical Chemistry (1984) from University of California, San Francisco (UCSF)
- Postdoctoral Training: National Institutes of Health (NIH)
Dr. Waschek’s research explores the physiological roles of neuropeptides PACAP and VIP in CNS development, neuroinflammatory conditions (e.g., multiple sclerosis), and brain tumor pathogenesis. His work demonstrates their regulation of neural patterning via hedgehog antagonism, myelin maturation, and immune responses in CNS and peripheral organs.
His recent publications highlight PACAP/VIP involvement in Th17 differentiation, colitis, neurodegeneration, and circadian rhythms. Key findings include VIP’s role in glucocorticoid regulation and PACAP’s impact on tumor stem cell proliferation.
