Story Landis

Nature Reviews Drug Discovery 13, 718 (2014). doi:10.1038/nrd4454 After 19 years at the US National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), Story Landis retired last month. During her time there, she was struck by a transformation of neurological research on many fronts, including the discovery of disease-linked genes and the development of induced pluripotent stem cell models of disease. But a recent study of NINDS grants shows that funding of basic neurological research has also declined during this time, putting future advances at risk. Landis tells Asher Mullard about how she has worked to put the NINDS back on track before stepping down.
