Biography: 

Andrew Mammen is originally from Seattle and attended Reed College in Portland, Oregon. He obtained his medical degree and Ph.D. in neuroscience at Johns Hopkins, where he subsequently completed his medicine internship, neurology residency, and neuromuscular fellowship. Upon joining the Hopkins faculty in 2007, he co-founded the Johns Hopkins Myositis Center, where he and his colleagues discovered a novel form of autoimmune myopathy associated with statin use and autoantibodies recognizing HMG-CoA reductase, the pharmacologic target of statins. Dr. Mammen moved to the NIH in 2014, where he is now a Senior Investigator and leads the Muscle Disease Unit. His current laboratory and clinical research interests are focussed on defining pathogenic mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets in the various forms of autoimmune myopathy.
