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.
