Christopher Kevin Glass (Ph.D., M.D.) (born 1955, California, USA) is a biophysicist, holding the titles of Distinguished Professor of Cellular and Molecular Medicine and Distinguished Professor of Medicine at the University of California, San Diego [1] He works on the molecular mechanisms that control macrophage functions in health and disease.
Glass majored in Biophysics at the University of California, Berkeley (1977) and received M.D. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of California, San Diego (1984). He performed internship and residency training in internal medicine at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston (1985) before returning to UC San Diego for fellowship training in Endocrinology and Metabolism (1989). He became one of the founding members of the Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine [2] In 1992 he was appointed Assistant Professor of Medicine at UCSD, and promoted to Associate Professor in 1995, full professor in 1999, and Distinguished Professor in 2018 [2]
Glass is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences,[3] the National Academy of Medicine,[4] and the National Academy of Sciences. [5]
Research Interests
Recent work from the laboratory reported the importance of tissue-specific signals in establishing the diverse macrophage phenotypes observed in different organs including microglia, the major macrophage population in the brain. [6]
