Herbert H. Samuels is the Helen Milton Kimmelman Professor of Pharmacology at NYU Grossman School of Medicine. His research focuses on hormone action, particularly transcriptional regulation by nuclear receptors for various hormones including glucocorticoids and thyroid hormones. His work has contributed to the understanding of dimerization and DNA recognition by the steroid hormone receptor superfamily, elucidating mechanisms that mediate gene expression during development and differentiation. Current studies involve identifying nuclear factors and transcriptional elements that interact with thyroid hormone receptors to define their roles using in vitro systems. He has demonstrated the specific interactions of TFIIB with the N-terminus of thyroid hormone receptors and is engaged in studies to delineate the motifs necessary for transcriptional activation.
