Biography

Stephen G. Kaler, MD, MPH, is a professor of Pediatrics and Genetics and a physician-scientist in the Center for Gene Therapy, Abigail Wexner Research Institute at Nationwide Children’s Hospital. He is triple-certified (Clinical, Biochemical, and Molecular Genetics) by the American Board of Medical Genetics and considered an authority on Menkes disease, a rare inherited disorder of copper metabolism, and its variants. Dr. Kaler earned his medical degree from the University of Rochester, Rochester, NY, and completed an internship in Internal Medicine at Brigham & Women’s Hospital, Boston, MA. He completed residency training in Pediatrics (Loyola University Medical Center, Tufts-New England Medical Center) and fellowship in Medical Genetics at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). He then served as Director of Biochemical and Molecular Genetics at Children’s National Medical Center in Washington, DC and earned an MPH (international health track) from George Washington University School of Public Health before returning to NIH as a Clinical Director and tenured Senior Investigator. He joined the Center for Gene Therapy at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Fall 2019.

Center for Gene Therapy

The Kaler Laboratory is committed to dissecting the mechanisms and pathophysiology of inherited neurometabolic, motor neuron, and copper transport diseases and using the knowledge to improve health through rational remedies, including gene therapy. Patients and families affected by these conditions provide the impetus for scientific inquiry in the Laboratory. In addition to molecular genetics, the Laboratory employs preclinical models, cellular and biochemical approaches, and conducts clinical trials. Adeno-associated virus (AAV)-mediated gene therapy for Menkes disease, choroid plexus–targeted gene therapy for Alpha-mannosidosis, studies of motor neuron degeneration mediated by p97/valosin-containing protein (p97/VCP), and delineation of inherited disorders of ATP7A-related copper transport represent current main directions.

Research

Lab(s)

Center for Gene Therapy

The Kaler Laboratory is committed to dissecting the mechanisms and pathophysiology of inherited neurometabolic, motor neuron, and copper transport diseases and using the knowledge to improve health through rational remedies, including gene therapy. Patients and families affected by these conditions provide the impetus for scientific inquiry in the Laboratory. In addition to molecular genetics, the Laboratory employs preclinical models, cellular and biochemical approaches, and conducts clinical trials. Adeno-associated virus (AAV)-mediated gene therapy for Menkes disease, choroid plexus–targeted gene therapy for Alpha-mannosidosis, studies of motor neuron degeneration mediated by p97/valosin-containing protein (p97/VCP), and delineation of inherited disorders of ATP7A-related copper transport represent current main directions.
