Stephen J. DeArmond, MD, PhD, attended the Medical College of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia and received a PhD in physiology and an MD. While he was a graduate student, he taught neuroanatomy to medical students and developed a teaching atlas for neuroanatomy that was published by Oxford University Press; it has undergone 3 editions and is in use at many medical schools. After medical school, he was elected to the Alpha Omega Alpha Medical Honor Society. He completed his internship and residency in pathology at Stanford and then completed his fellowship in neuropathology under the celebrated Drs. Lucien Rubinstein and Lysia Forno. He remained on as a junior faculty member at Stanford and received a career development award at the Palo Alto VA Hospital from 1980 to 1983. During these years at Stanford, he studied neurochemistry and immunohistochemistry under the tutelage of Dr. Lawrence Eng, who discovered glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP). Dr. DeArmond's research emphasized the metabolism of GFAP.
