Overview
Dr. Josh Bonkowsky is an associate professor of Pediatric Neurology (Pediatrics) and of Neurology. He obtained his MD and PhD degrees at the University of California. His undergraduate training was at Harvard University, and his Pediatrics and Neurology/Pediatric Neurology training was at the University of Utah and Boston Children's Hospital. His clinical studies are focused on understanding clinical features of leukodystrophies and genetics of complex human neurobehavioral traits, especially language impairments. Dr. Bonkowsky's clinical research group is investigating genetics of leukodystrophies to understand the genetic and medical impacts of these disorders. The Bonkowsky Laboratory is generating disease models for high-throughput drug discovery and investigating human neurogenetic diseases, specifically diseases of basal ganglia function and white matter diseases. On sunny afternoons, Dr. Bonkowsky enjoys trail running and learning to skate ski.
Dr. Bonkowsky is highly rated in 13 conditions, according to our data. His top areas of expertise are CACH Syndrome, Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD), Leukodystrophy, Krabbe Disease, and Gastrostomy.
His clinical research consists of co-authoring 152 peer reviewed articles and participating in 1 clinical trial. MediFind looks at clinical research from the past 15 years.
