Biography

David Farb is a Professor at Boston University's Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine, where he has been a significant contributor since 1990. He serves as the Chairman of the Department of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics and is the Director of the university-wide NIGMS training program in Biomolecular Pharmacology. His research specializes in the identification of pharmacological treatments for mental disorders related to learning and memory. Farb's work integrates various technologies to assess the effects of cognitive enhancers and neuroactive steroids on hippocampal functions, which are crucial for cognition in both mammals and humans. His research addresses deficits in episodic memory linked to the hippocampal function and explores new drug delivery methods utilizing nanoparticles to navigate the blood-brain barrier. A multidisciplinary approach is taken that combines molecular biology, neurophysiology, and electrophysiological techniques to elucidate mechanisms underlying cognitive enhancement treatments for nervous system disorders.
