Email This Entry

Posted by Zack Lynch

Michael Greenberg, a leading researcher at Childrens Hospital/Harvard Medical School, is the recipient of the McGovern Institute's third annual Edward M. Scolnick Prize in Neuroscience, which recognizes an outstanding discovery or significant advance in the field of neuroscience.

mit_0603.gifDr. Greenberg, who directs the Program in Neurobiology within the Childrens Hospital/Harvard Medical School Department of Neurology, is widely regarded as a world leader in molecular neurobiology who has made seminal discoveries that have resulted in entirely new avenues of investigation in neural development and the search for new treatments or neurological disorders. Dr. Greenberg researches the mechanisms by which neurotrophic factors and neurotransmitters act through cell surface receptors to regulate transcriptional responses that are critical for nervous system development and function. Recently, he has been investigating the effects of extracellular factors and intracellular signaling pathways on the processes of axon guidance, cell fate determination, synaptic development, and neuronal survival within the developing and adult nervous system.
