Neuroinflammation and neurometabolic disorders with Dr. Keith Van Haren

In this podcast with Vishnu Kagolanu, Dr. Keith Van Haren from Stanford University School of Medicine discusses how his research work influenced him to specialize in neuroinflammation and neurometabolic disorders. Dr. Van Haren goes on to explain how deficiencies in certain vitamins, such as Vitamin D, can cause health conditions in children, especially if they live farther from the equator. Dr. Van Haren also gives his take on how eating a healthy diet can improve outcomes for neurologically disabled individuals. He also discusses the promise of stem cells in the future in treating neuroinflammation and neurometabolic disorders.
