Michael Sutton

Michael Sutton is a Research Professor at the Michigan Neuroscience Institute, University of Michigan. He specializes in synaptic function and plasticity, focusing on molecular mechanisms such as endosomal recycling pathways and epigenetic regulation.

• Institution: University of Michigan
• Lab Affiliation: Sutton Lab

His research interests include:

• Synaptic Plasticity
• Neurodevelopmental Disorders
• Phosphoinositide Signaling
• Transcriptional Regulation in Neurons

Recent publications highlight his work on the SNX17-Retriever recycling pathway and roles of H3K4 methyltransferases in homeostatic plasticity. Collaborative projects explore disorders like Smith-Magenis syndrome and Fragile X syndrome.

Key collaborators include Lois Weisman, Shigeki Iwase, and Peter Todd. His lab has received funding from PRISMS (Smith-Magenis Foundation) and other agencies.

Students and trainees, such as Patricia Garay, have contributed to studies on synaptic scaling and activity-dependent transcription.
