Susana Neves

Dr. Susana Neves serves as Assistant Professor in the Department of Pharmacology and Systems Therapeutics at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, where she conducts groundbreaking research on neural signaling mechanisms. Her work at the Systems Biology Center New York focuses on understanding the complex relationship between phosphodiesterases and synaptic responsiveness in the nervous system. Dr. Neves leads innovative investigations into four key areas: the physiological impact of PDE regulation on receptor trafficking, PDE's role in altering synaptic responsiveness, the complex interactions of multiple PDE activities affecting receptor movement and membrane excitability, and the spatial aspects of PDE-regulated receptor trafficking at synapses. Her research combines sophisticated molecular techniques with systems biology approaches to unravel the intricate mechanisms of neural communication, contributing significantly to our understanding of synaptic function and regulation.
