American neurologist
Stuart C. Sealfon is an American
neurologist who studies the mechanisms of both the
therapeutic and
adverse effects of
drugs . He was an early adopter of the use of massively parallel
qPCR and
fluorescent in situ hybridization to characterize cell response state
[1] and his research accomplishments have included the identification of the primary structure of the
gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor , finding new signaling pathways activated by drugs for
Parkinson's disease , elucidating the mechanism of action of
hallucinogens and finding a new brain receptor complex implicated in
schizophrenia as a novel target for
antipsychotics .

Sealfon is the Glickenhaus Professor and Chairman of the Department of Neurology at The
Mount Sinai School of Medicine in
New York City . Sealfon also serves as director of Mount Sinai's Center for Translational Systems Biology. Additionally, he is both Professor of Neurobiology and Professor of Pharmacology and Systems Therapeutics.
[5]
Sealfon is the author of multiple book chapters and is the editor of Receptor Molecular Biology, Volume 25 (
ISBN
0121852954 ). He has contributed to more than 100 original research articles and holds two patents.
Biography
Sealfon was born in 1956 in New York City. He was raised in
Rockaway . He graduated
magna cum laude
Phi Beta Kappa from
Princeton University in 1978 and received the thesis award in
comparative literature . He received his M.D. in 1982 from
Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons , where he was selected to the
Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society . He completed an internship in medicine in 1983 and a residency in
neurology in 1986 at
Massachusetts General Hospital . After completing a fellowship in
neuroscience at the
Mount Sinai Medical Center , he was named assistant professor at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in 1988.[

Sealfon has served on the editorial boards of
Endocrinology ,
[6]
Endocrine Journal ,
Molecular Endocrinology and the
Mount Sinai Journal of Medicine and served as reviewing editor of
Biochemical Journal . Additionally, he served on the advisory board of the Alanex Corporation.
[1]
Sealfon's work is supported by the
National Institute on Drug Abuse , the
National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases and the
National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases . He directs the multi-institutional Program for Research on Immune Modeling and Experimentation (PRIME), an NIH-funded Modeling Immunity for the Biodefense Center. Through the Sealfon Laboratory and The Mount Sinai Medical Center, he oversees research on human hallucinogenic drugs of abuse, immune cell signaling, and
gonadotrope signaling.
