Early life and education
During his medical residency, Barres noticed that there was a lack of understanding in terms of knowing the causes or cures of neurodegeneration. Through observing pathology reports, he realized a correlation between neural degeneration and irregular patterns of glial cells in the brain. An intrigued Barres opted out of his residency to pursue research in neuroscience at Harvard in 1983.

By 2001, Barres became earned full professor status before being appointed chair of neurobiology at Stanford in 2008.
