Michael J. Glass is an Associate Professor at the Brain and Mind Research Institute of Weill Cornell Medical College, focusing on neurobiological mechanisms mediating behavioral plasticity related to hypertension and drug abuse. His multidisciplinary research integrates electron microscopy, gene knock-out technologies, and behavioral analysis.
- Ph.D. in Neuroscience, University of Minnesota (1998)
- B.A. in Biology, Queens College, CUNY (1993)
His research explores NMDA receptor dynamics in autonomic circuits, particularly the nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS) and hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus, examining how receptor localization changes in hypertension and opioid use models. Recent work highlights estrogen receptor beta interactions with neuroinflammatory pathways in perimenopausal Alzheimer's models.
Key article trends show expertise in neuroinflammation, receptor trafficking, and sex differences in autonomic regulation, with publications in journals like Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences and The Journal of Neuroscience.
He serves as Co-Principal Investigator for NIH-funded research on G Protein-Coupled Estrogen Receptor mechanisms in autonomic dysfunction and holds continuous Principal Investigator roles since 2017. Collaborations span Neuropsychopharmacology and Neuroendocrinology domains.
