Biography

Thomas Neubert is a Professor in the Department of Neuroscience at NYU Grossman School of Medicine. His research is focused on the role of proteins in cellular signaling events, utilizing mass spectrometry to study proteins and their posttranslational modifications. His recent work has improved the understanding of intracellular signal transduction through advanced molecular biology techniques. Neubert aims to gain a complete understanding of the dynamics of intracellular decision-making by directly studying changes in proteins in response to small-molecule metabolites. His research involves collaborations with neuroscientists at NYU School of Medicine and other institutions through the Mass Spectrometry Core for Neuroscience, which is funded by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS). Currently, his primary goal is to identify proteins that interact with specific signaling events, with a particular interest in neurotrophin-signaling pathways in neurons. His experiments often include isolating protein complexes through immunoprecipitation and affinity chromatography, contributing valuable insights into the biochemical networks that underlie neuronal function.
