Master Scientist
Richard W. Tsien, DPhilDirector of the Neuroscience Institute Chair of the Department of Neuroscience and Physiology Druckenmiller Professor of NeuroscienceScientific Director, Marlene and Paolo Fresco Institute for
Parkinson’s and Movement Disorders
Dr. Tsien, inaugural director of the Neuroscience Institute at NYU
Langone Medical Center, has fostered the careers of many excellent
neuroscientists over four decades as a teacher at Yale and Stanford
Universities, before joining NYU in 2011. A cardiac electrophysiologist
by training, Dr. Tsien and his colleagues now focus on the dynamics of
the synapse and topics ranging from the discovery of calcium
channels that trigger neurotransmitter release, to understanding
how postsynaptic activity controls nuclear transcription. He has
clarified how ion channels are modulated by transmitters, and in
turn, regulate intracellular signaling. His group has developed new
optical approaches to peer into single vesicle fusion events and the
workings of multiple synaptic inputs in networks. The work has
relevance to disease states such as pain, epilepsy, autism and
schizophrenia and their amelioration by therapeutic agents.
Dr. Tsien received both an undergraduate and graduate degree in
electrical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology. He was a Rhodes Scholar, graduating with a doctorate in
biophysics from Oxford University, England.
Dr. Tsien is a member of the National Academy of Sciences, the
Institute of Medicine, and the Academia Sinica. His past honors
include the Cole Medal, the Palade Medal, the Cartwright Prize, the
Axelrod Prize, the 2014 Bard Lectureship, the 2014 Annual Review
Prize and the 2014 Gerard Prize.
In 2015, Dr. Tsien was named the inaugural Scientific Director of the
Marlene and Paolo Fresco Institute for Parkinson’s and Movement
Disorders.
