UIowa Molecular Medicine Graduate Program

Congratulations to Alexander Glebov-McCloud, PhD!

The Biomedical Science (Molecular Medicine) Interdisciplinary Graduate Program is proud to congratulate Alexander Glebov-McCloud on the successful completion of his thesis seminar and doctoral defense on April 17, 2026.

Alex conducted his dissertation research in the laboratory of Dr. Stefan Strack in the Department of Neuroscience & Pharmacology. His thesis, “Characterization of PRKAR1B Mutations Associated with Neurodegenerative and Neurodevelopmental Disorders,” provides important insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying complex neurological conditions. Through his work, Alex has contributed to a deeper understanding of how PRKAR1B mutations impact cellular function and disease pathology.

Alex’s accomplishment reflects years of dedication, curiosity, and scientific rigor. His ability to tackle challenging questions in neuroscience and molecular medicine speaks to both his perseverance and his passion for advancing the field.

We extend our sincere congratulations to Alex on this significant milestone and wish him continued success in all of his future endeavors.
